Need Some Baller RAM

Currently the parts I have are the PC Mate Z97 MOBO, a Pentium G3258, a Samsung 850-EVO 250 GB, and a corsair carbide Spec-2 case. The MOBO is black with blue highlights on some parts and the corsair case has Red LED fans. Should I get Red ram to match lights Blue Ram to match MOBO, or black ram to be neutral (but not look at cool in my opinion). Right now I'm thinking of some Corsair Vengeance 2x4GB 1600 mhz DDR3, but I'm open to suggestions. I really just want to know what color would match build best. Thanks!

Ripjaws-X from G.Skill is red . . . Personally I would match the mobo so Kingston HyperX comes in blue variants I think.

Alright so you agree it is best to match MOBO. Would it be a good idea to maybe switch the case LEDS then to Blue ones it'll only be like a $15 replacement for a 2 pack of cooler master fans.

That is a cheaper and easier solution. However, if you don't care about appearance then any is fine.
