Time for a new saddle. Please help me choose black or white

black tape and black saddle
White/white to me will look very sharp and much better than black.
To the reference that white gets dirty I have been running Fizik bar tape and a white saddle for 7 months now(5k miles) and its still looks really good.
Secret is to not use cork/tacky tape which does attract everything except white.

I have a white frame and was thinking about the saddle/bar color as well when setting up my bike. This is what I did for my bike. My saddle is white but has some black and my bar is white and black. I actually would prefer all white on the bar but having an all white on my previous is a pain in the a** to clean so I compromised and have the black on top where I am riding most of the time and white on the bottom. Lizard Skins has some dual color bar tape and I got mine from them.
Personally, I avoid black leather saddles. It seem like the black dye gradually leeches out, maybe due to sweat, and all my light-colored cycling clothes end up looking dingy and grayed after being washed together..
Any color of Lorica or the other synthetics is OK. White synthetic is OK.

Based on my bike color. I have black bar tape to go on when the current tape wears out. Saddle will be a Shimano PRO or Bontrager Serrano, both with carbon rails.
