The silver or cream would look great. I like the two tone look, myself.

The cream white would look best, I think it will really make the "classic" come out...JMO

Now add another color to the lower half of the tank and you'll have 5 colors - too busy for me.

My two cents.
Solid colors for me too......and here all along, I thought I was the ODD BALL.

It looks good with the silver, another suggestion is black pearl or a charcoal of some kind, the Ultras & Classics used that combo & I always thought it looked real good. It depends on how much you want it to stand out, the lighter the color the more it will stand out.

Agree - especially on a classic - more nostalgic IMO

My vote is for CREAM for what ever it's worth. Good luck with what ever you decide on. You are the one who has to like it anyway.
