How do I choose the colour... Someone help!!

So how do I choose the colour of my HARDLINE loop? I have changed my mind about 400 times today.
So here is my current mindset and reasons for that particular colour.

Red - Pro's: I have red strobing ram which is cool asf this makes this colour choice cheaper, looks really good when done right.
Cons- Tons of people use it, really overused IMO.

Baby blue - Pro's: Looks really really good (has to be one of my favourite colours)
Cons - Expensive to do, literally no parts made in the colour so modding will need to take place.

Green/Yellow/Orange all matching up with baby blue except there is slightly more availability.

My case is black, motherboard has yellow highlights, RAM is bright RED LED's, GPU block is copper and CPU block is Nickel (I know, didnt think that one through)

What is gonna be easiest to sell/mod to get the desired clean look I am after, I just want a cool looking PC to sit on my desk, be quiet and look beautiful...

I have priced up new Mobo's, New RAM, new GPU blocks, about 150 new cases, and it all falls back to cost.

Any ideas are welcomed, I have the black enthoo luxe, which I do love, but any other case recommendations are so very welcomed

You seem to have a choice of five colours... Roll a D6.
1 - Red
2 - Blue
3 - Green
4 - Yellow
5 - Orange
6 - Pick one at random, leave the order to do it's thing and go down the pub.

Sorted.

I just kept rolling and rolling because I said BO5 and I got 1,2,3,4 and 5 hahaha

Personally I just have no clue what to go, they all look fantastic, but I just dont know, I think I have crossed off orange. Yellow and red were my first choice, my girlfriend suggested baby blue and to be fair it looks really really good, and she is always right!

Green has always been hit or miss, one day I would look at it and think oooo that looks lovely the next day it is too in your face etc etc.

Why can I sense RGB tubing / liquid being the next tech invention?

Kinda already there... I think it's Monsoon who do the 5.25 bay Res with different colour LEDs?

Friend of mine got one and was cycling through the colours, but wondering why every colour was a different shade of red... It took him and two others of us Noob plebs to finally twig that he was using red Mayhems in the loop!! :rolleyes:

That would be my sense hahaha

RGB would be a rubbish invention, however electro? Powered water that could change colours at the push of a button... That would be cool.

Decided on baby blue with silver/white for the other bits and bobs!
