Help with fluid color

Hey guys, I need a bit of help with choosing what to put in my new system.

 

I will be finishing a hardline loop in few days and I am still undecided on what to put inside it as coolant. The build is mostly tempered glass, the tubing are borosilicate glass and the whole build is black/grey/white.

 

Custom cables are all here with a mix of carbon, platinum grey and white, the fans will be corsair ML 120 Pro's (white). So now it's the time to choose fluid.

 

I have 3 bottles of VUE (Sterling Silver) but tbh with all the recent news this stuff is a bit of unknown right now and I'm kinda afraid to use it. So it leaves me with the choice of a new coolant that wouldn't clash with the rest of the build.

 

So far only clear fluid comes to mind, unfortunately, because I don't have any other color accent in my build - but perhaps clear red or clear blue wouldn't look bad? Dunno, what are your thoughts?

id run the VUE, just check beforehand if the fluid has settled out. if it has, return it, if it hasent then id run it

I spent $2500 on building my PC and all i do with it is play no games atm & watch anime at 1080p(finally) watch YT and write essays...  nothing, it just sits there collecting dust...

Builds:

The Toaster Project! Northern Bee!

"Here is some advice that might have gotten lost somewhere along the way in your life. 

 

#1. Treat others as you would like to be treated.

#2. It's best to keep your mouth shut; and appear to be stupid, rather than open it and remove all doubt.

#3. There is nothing "wrong" with being wrong. Learning from a mistake can be more valuable than not making one in the first place.

 

Follow these simple rules in life, and I promise you, things magically get easier. " - MageTank 31-10-2016

I use grey Vue in 2 systems and its been great for about 3 weeks. No issues with temps or falling out. I've seen some issues with the blue acting a bit weird, Nothing weird from the grey, silver on primochill's discord. I'll post my build below.

I like it, I think Lian Li makes some weird choices. I was able to get it on sale so for $120 it was definitely worth it.
