Bar tape - color suggestions

Wow Roguedog, that site is amazing, however I think that the shipping alone from Aus to Texas would put me a tad over budget, not to mention the cost of the tape! But so so beautiful. The Cinelli Caleido looks similar-ish and I kind of dig it.
I looked up a color wheel to see what colors 'contrast' my navy and it suggested a bright orange, however I've never been much of an orange colored anything fan.

Let me suggest green accents... Lizard Skins has some apple green tape [see here]; Salsa has green titanium skewers [here]. And Brooks has a green B-17 [here]. I might be green with envy...

I googled images of my bike and saw sopme ppl who had red tape and decided that I don't know what I want but I do know I don't like red tape on my bike. Wondering if I can muster up the courage to go into my LBS and hold tape up to my bike. It's a bit of a 'boys club' but I'm getting braver in there.

If you're feeling patriotic, you could go red, white, and blue.

Or how 'bout a harlequin pattern wrap?

If you just want to get an idea of what a particular color of bar tape would like, you can get a scrap of fabric or whatever you have handy and put it around the bars to see, generally, what it would look like.

I did something similar with my cages. I wanted to see what red cages would look like on my bike and all I had handy in the right shade of red was a fabric measuring tape. I wrapped around the old cages to get an idea.

I recently tried white shoelaces to see what white cable housing would look like and realized it wouldn't make much of a difference on my bike. Glad I saved myself the trouble.

I was going to suggest orange since it's wonderful with navy, but if you're not a fan I second the apple green recommendation. I love bright colors though. A light blue might look nice too if it's a lighter shade of the navy.

Ha ha! I was going to suggest orange. But not necessarily bright orange, perhaps there is a darker, burnt orange color available?
