White can look nice. Then it gets dirty so fast. And it’s a pain to look at.

Either one, they’ll both be black before long.

White would look better with more white accessories: waterbottles, seat, saddle bag, white wall tires, etc. As is, it looks out of place.

I have a black Trek with silver lettering like yours (and tan side walls, too). I just got new brown bar tape and it looks great. Maybe something to consider.

Silver. Try to match the large logo on the downtube and the rear brake rotor.

My opinion is white bar tape always looks best … for about 20 minutes. Then you’ll wish you did black.

I split the difference I use camo bar tape of white, black and grey random pattern on my black bike. I love évite but gets grimy too quickly
White only if with a white saddle and black tires. With the black saddle and tan wall tires, it’s got to be black bar tape. With black frames you’re limited to black tape and saddle with tan wall tires or matching the saddle and bars to the logo and black tires. What would also work is bar tape that fades from black to silver at the drops to match the logo.

Black. If you want something different than black you could looking for prints where the upper tone matches the frame colour

Coming from experience with white bar tape, I’d say go with the all black look. The white bar tape gets dirty really really fast

White looks nice. But you need a white saddle as well and you’ll be changing the white tape a lot as it gets dirty fast.

Why not tan to match the tires?
Black. Or a bright colour like orange or red! 😁

Silver or titanium?
