White P basses..what pickguard color?

[butterfingers1]

Mint.

This after-market guard was on my CIJ '62 reissue P bass when it arrived. I like it more than the usual tort, but I might switch to a gold ano instead.

Bought this bass used and it came with a one ply black pickguard, Peavey sold me this w/b/w guard for $8
Now it looks like a church bass! (I don't go to church)

I know that this poll is 5 years old, but I'm still disappointed not to have a chance to vote Gold.

Does anodised black count as straight black or its own thing?
Plus a couple of other colours for your viewing pleasure…

Abalone

Against white and black, every color works. Whatever you choose will look great, so be bold!

On paper, I wouldn't give it a thought; here, that is really nice.

Black... but gold looks good, too. Not a fan of tort on white.

 

[Michedelic]

Tort? How boring, unimaginative, and conformist.

Turnt

White with mint is infallable

Of all the suggestions submitted, the image below with the gray-ish PG would be my choice (courtesy of TrentB)
I like the subtlety of it. To me the look is pure class. Of course, you can be like the rest of the crowd and choose some tort PG. But IMO (as a retired professional photographer and graphic designer, tort introduces something called "competing centers of interest". White body. Brown fingerboard. Silver bridge. Black pickups. But I suppose the choice might be what the OP wants people to see/notice. When I look at the tort version, the tort eclipses the attention of the body and everything else. Not my jam. There is just something about the feel of the body and the PG blending rather than competing for attention. JMO
