What fluid color?

Hello, i'm planning a custom loop and i was wondering what fluid color you guys think would look good in this build. the loop is going to consist of a 480mn the front, 480mn the side and a 360mn top with a cpu monoblock and the graphic cards will be liquid cooled as well. I was thinking clear but what are you guys opinion?

i think you should turn your PSU around because like this it will, even with dust filters, suck in your entire carpet over time.

I think green would be a good loop colour, but you don't seem to have a set colour theme here so I guess you could go with anything, unless you wanted to start a theme by changing the RGB colours to match the loop?

What theme would you suggest trying? right now my theme is rainbow light show and i mean i do like the shifting colors

Just go clear man, You have RGB so you can change the light colors and clear always matches and after using coloured coolant myself in a daily its just not worth it at all, the upkeep is incredibly annoying

Clear and use rgb. But I swapped to matte black hoses for my builds. So back to distilled water for me.
