Aesthetics help on a new build

[TinyE]

Hey everyone, i'm thick in a new build, and am now having design re-considerations.
It's a Daphne blue P-Body. Originally, i was going to go blue with white pearl (everything) and chrome, then I saw a black block inlay neck and liked it. I had also considered having a local artist paint a few other colors on the blue body, still not sure about that. Just wondering what public opinion says.

Note: I'm familiar with the love of tort on here. I'm not steering that way!
Thanks all!

Have you considered a mint 'guard with the Daphne blue?

Parchment pickguard gets my vote

Never dug mother of toilet set, especially not black but with black block inlays I'd do with a black PG, charcoal or parchment.

If you're having an artist paint accents on the body maybe have those same accent shapes appear on the PG?

I would go for chrome with plain white pickguard or parchment pickguard.

Or chrome with chrome pickguard. Even an Ertmer pickguard.

I voted "Other"; Black accents (pickguard, bound & blocked neck), but chrome hardware. I feel the black hardware would be a bit too much.

thanks so far! i'm going to play around with that pickguard color thing. i didn't consider some of the others, but they may work!
