Default colored wire loom

Im going to attemp to clean up the engine bay this weekend with some wire loom just to add some color under the hood. I have a black z28 and i was thinking to match my red bumper inserts with red wire loom under the hood but im not sure that would look very good....i have a choice...Red, Blue or yellow...which do you all think i should do? I wouldn't really do this except that the wire loom is free so i figure this is a freebee so why not.

any suggestions fellas?

I did red at first, then changed it to black, except for a few places. Look at my website you will see photos.

cleaning up the engine bay is always a noble motive but for god's sakes use black.

Yea, adding color to all the ugly wiring unfortunatly doesn't "clean" up our bays, it just makes you focus on the wiring....doing the MODs we post on here all the time really does clean up the engine bay, !wire MOD, FRC's to hid the coil packs, hiding the ground wires, !air tube and peeling the stickers off.....all those done will clean up everything much better than the loom, do yourself a favor, pass the "freebie" on to one of your friends.....if you just have to though, go with Black!.....
