It looks pretty either way I'm sure!

Whether or not the tape gets dirty sort of depends on the texture of the tape. The celeste-colored cork tape on my Bianchi gets super dirty and has to be washed frequently. However, the pretty pink Fizik tape on my road bike doesn't get dirty at all (unless I manage to get bike grease on it, I'm a little klutzy like that). It has more of a plasticy finish, compared to the more porous texture of the cork tape which has a greater tendency to pick up dirt.

I've discovered, by the way, that baby wipes and/or Wet Ones are magic for getting grease off of hands and bike. I always keep a few singles in my seat bag now.
