Similar blue on mine and pure white stripes with cream leather.

Take a look at my gallery for pictures.

Mine is imperial blue with pure white stripes. I searched & the only option for me was white, I thought cream would look grubby. However it's a free country (well almost) so the choice is yours. Wimbledon white is a popular choice.

Personally I like silver on blue, was going to have mine this colour until I decided on silver/black.

I masked all the tapered stripes on my car and didn't think they looked right. When looking straight at the car from the front or the back they looked tapered. I went for parallel stripes instead and thought they looked 100% better.
