>>1986230it is a medium blue, but the light blue looks desaturated enough i think that a mismatch would be ok. here is one with brown, and i think that's pretty similar to khaki? looks a lil weird with the brown hoods maybe. bright yellow looks tacky i think. all cloth tape will probably look pretty dirty after a ride or two, but that's fine.
the fizik microtex tape in white doesn't really get too dirty, it's just so slick. i don't like the feeling of thick foam tapes either.
i have been running no bar tape for a while and it just doesn't look right.
