I myself like contrast. Light colored bodies with rosewood, darker bodies with maple.

but

Fit , finish and playability can sway me otherwise.

With that being said , the blue isn’t light enough for maple , the white I like rosewood, so I’m rosewood for both , and I like the white the most, with rosewood
 
If I can't have some cool color with a matching headstock (and I usually can't . . . ), I prefer to go OG traditional:

The yellow-red-brown sunburst, tort (My God, I actually SAID that . . . ), a vintage-yellowed neck with a rosewood board.
