If a black and white scheme might work, you could tape from the hoods to the end of the drops in white, and the tops in black. That would avoid most of the dirt issue.
They sell bar tape that is half black, half white to achieve the zebra look. I have it with gray/orange. It was more challenging than single color tape to wrap (I had to get it JUST right or it would have driven me crazy).

My DH's bike has a white seat with black bar tape. The seat just happened to be the only one that was comfortable and it happened to be in white. I think his bike looks awesome. I'm sure yours will too (and black will definitely hide the dirt a lot more).
