Should bar tape and saddle colour match?

[hobbitonabike]

My brother in law is driven crazy by the fact my bar tape and saddle are different colours...he insists they should match!! Just to tip him over the edge I changed the boy childs too hahahaha. So what do you reckon? Has a point or OCD?

Bar tape should never ever be white.

What utter nonsense

I've never seen white bar tape. I've seen bar tape that used to white ...

Then you were entirely correct ( and I don't care about the sodding rules).

I've never seen white bar tape. I've seen bar tape that used to white ...

Hence why...

Bar tape should never ever be white.

And anybody who disagrees... .

Yud be surprised how visible white handlebar tape is to a motorist at a T junction.

Doesnt matter how visible you are, the peanut's will still not see you

Got the revolting ex-white turned dirty grey tape off road bike handle bars a couple of weeks ago. Much much nicer with black tape. Changed the manky ex-white turned dirty grey saddle for a black one too. Much much nicer with black saddle

White tape doesn't turn grey if you buy the right stuff. I have deda leather effect bar tape on my horizon and it's still white 8 months and 4000kms after I put it on, just like the saddle.

The black just didn't look right: -
