Help me pick Coolant Colour + Custom Cables

Hey guys,

 

I need some help with picking out the right coolant for my build, along with the colour scheme for my sleeved cables. As you can see it is not quite finished yet, still some tubing left to bend.

 

Currently my system is very neutral and I would like to keep it nice and clean looking. Main colours used are: Black Chrome, Titanium Grey and Silver.

A crappy quality picture below:

I will be using Mayhems coolants, and my current favourites are:

 

1) Distilled water with purple dye (along with biocide/killcoil of course)

2) Pastel Ice White + perhaps a blue dye (any colour that you think will suit is welcome as a suggestion, i don't like premixes so I will dye the fluids myself)

3) Just clear distilled water ( I know this one will work well but I'd like to try with some colour first )

 

Now once the colour is decided then I can go for some custom cables to match.

 

For those I would like to use Icemodz, and here is some of their amazing work: http://www.icemodz.eu/showcase-cables/

 

Now if the fluid is clear I can go with black, grey and silver sleeving (and try different patters to see what suits).

 

If the fluid is not clear, then I will have black and grey cables with colour inserts ( so maybe like 2 or 3 of the sleeves will be whatever colour the fluid is).

 

What do you guys think?

 

Many thanks,

pastel white should be sweet or slightly cyan to get the "icy" look

Perhaps clear cyan/light blue?

 

Or maybe Pastel Blueberry?

Anything goes with black.

I thought so too but there is too much in the silver for something like lime green or yellow to work. I think that blue might cut it...

 

Ideally i would love a purple of some sort but the pastel purples I have seen are not as vibrant as I would like.

Why not go with a Pastel purple and then some purple dye?

Not sure how that would turn out, I tried to find examples without much luck...

 

This looks awesome if I can recreate it:

Pastel fluid would look great in that build one thing I wouldn't recommend is using a silver coil if you do go with distilled water since you have nickel in that loop as they can be borderline dissimialr metals and cause issues with the nickel plating.

Maybe go for a slightly darker shade of purple.

Judge a product on its own merits AND the company that made it.

This pc is begging for Gray liquid.

I think it might be too much gray at that point no ?

Yeah I am leaning towards pastel as my primary choice for coolant, just unsure on what colour. I don't think I will buy the premix, just the ice white and get some dye in there to try and create something unique.

I don't even think that purple in the picture is possible. When I google Mayhems Pastel Purple it looks nothing like it, so that's probably an over exposed shot or photoshopped image to give it that huge contrast. Unless some different dyes were used but I don't know.

 

Leak testing done, I sort of really like the clean aesthetics of distilled water... but I need some colour so this would be last resort:
