What’s your opinion, coolant colours?

Had a fault with my GPU today and whilst fixing it I drained the loop, didn’t want to reuse the same liquid but had a spare bottle of azure blue EK mix that I bought but didn’t use.

 

I don’t think I like it though had white before.

 

what other liquids do people recommend that might look good in this build? (Anything else interesting out there like these ‘cloudy’ ones from EK)

Luminescent sounds interesting, got any links / ones that you would recommend, I don’t want anything that may ‘gunk’ the loop

Theres that ek cryofuel(lime green looks bright as hell) or the thermaltake c1000 or even the xspc ec6. Though im not sure about their performance and gunking quality , they seem to glow up quite well with lighting . Especially UV .
