Colour coordination ideas for OCTTO tapes and grips:

Note: Colors in photos may be different from actual samples, due to variations in photographic processes and monitor calibrations.  No color-accuracy is implied from these images.

Dark-Black

Krys Hines' custom painted Cervelo RS

Dark-White

Dr. Octto's since-departed R2.5 Bayonne.
(Note the prototype Jagwire bar-cons.)

Dark-White is a superior colour to Pro-White as it hides grime much better; the Pro-White soils easily and just looks filthy after a short-time. 

The Pro teams can change their bar-tape as often as after every race.  If you have your own mechanic and want to buy 20 sets of Pro-White per season, we will gladly sell it to you.  If you don't, then we suggest the Dark-White, it looks almost the same.
