What's your favorite silk color?

It's a boring, slow day at work and I'm the chairman of the BORED. So, I thought I'd post a thread about something that doesn't matter!

So, if you could choose a silk color for your favorite strings, what would it be? My favorite is the Gold silk on Fender 7150s.

You must be bored!

But, I do like the light blue on my Dean Markley Blue Steels.

I can't remember who had them, but there was a set with each string a different color.
I like those!

I strongly prefer no silk, because the silk seems to unravel on me when i take the strings on and off, and i feel the need to constantly pick at it as well.

If i had to choose, i would say gold.
But it really depends on what kind of wood/finish is on your headstock.

I said blue because my favorite strings are D'Addario Chromes... Which currently live on my Squier Affinity Jazz V!

I voted orange because that's the color of carrots. Actually, I've been reading the "I Hate Strings" thread and so now I hate strings too. I guess that means I have to hate silk. Yeah, silk is made by damn stinkin' worms! Eeeeeeeyeeeeew!!!!!!!! Can I unvote somehow?

And while we're at it, I hate wool because it always gives me a rash. They made me wear a wool jock strap in high school gym class. To this day I still just wanna kill somebody every time I hear the word "pushup".

Four beers on a boring, gigless Saturday night and this is the best post I could come with.

I'm sober. My apologies to any silkworm lovers I may have offended. My apologies to silkworms too. I need a drink.

My first P bass (77-78) came with a turquoise set.

I like the color to match the instrument, or at least not clash with and draw attention away from the instrument. what is it with these crazy colored silks I see these days, do some people actually like th way they look on their bass ???
