What pickguard would go well with an all black precision with a maple neck?

Right now it has the white pick guard with the original silver knobs. I want to change the knobs to all black.

The obvious choice of course is a black pickguard, but what other options would you recommend? Please post pics if you can.

Black pickguard. Keep the chrome knobs.

Truth is, almost any color would work. I'd vote either black or mirror.

Black is my first choice but so obvious, I was thinking of a splash of color but not to clash with the maple. I can't find mirror, that would rule! I'm also curious how tort would look!

I have a black/maple P and I put a Fender Black Pearl p/g on it that looks great (to me).

Unfortunately, I keep forgetting to take pictures of it...

Here it is with a Black/White/Black.
