Case colour selection

I am about to start a mod on a 900d (will be shared on here) and I am looking to get it powder coated.

 

The front panel has a nice brushed aluminium look that I want to keep idealy, and also the components going into the case are going to have a blue / black colour theme. 

 

So what colour should I get the rest of the case done in?

 

White? Blue? Something else?

 

your thoughts...

Do it in a Black Wrinkle finish from Mountain mods. :D

I like the color scheme of Noctua fans. Deal with it. Forget about the bad memories of the past.

Forget about the bad memories of the past, take the good ones along with you through the present, and look forwards to the good things that will come in the future.

Got to admit I'm tempted by the white.

 

You got a better suggestion?

Would go for white.

 

At the same time I'm tempted as hell to make a black and pink build.

Nah go ahead and do white.

 

I'm doing an R2-D2 theme so my front panel will be different and they'll be highlights on the case.

Like the Parvum S1 with the acrylic in lays?

Not like that. I was thinking of slits like the accents in the NZXT Phantom, putting acrylic behind those slits and purple lighting behind that.
