Good that no-one's mentioned the 'T'-word yet

OK, I`ll do it - Tort, of course. And nothing else will do.

Huurp... blooarghh!!

Mint, parchment or cream.

Is there a difference between parchment and cream?

Or how about a mildly erotic airbrushed painting of a scantily clad lady from the 80s? That would be classy.

You can't write on cream & you don't put parchment on strawberrys.

...it does look nice with that black one.

Tort and black are [i]way [/i]too dark. That blue bass is very nice, but it's a dark colour.
You want something that will complement it, define the shape of the pickguard and show off the pickups.
IMHO, of course...

How about that portal material that let's you see into another dimension?

That's a thing...right?

Or mint.

Just put an aged pearl on my candy apple red p bass, gives it a lift without being too much.
Would look great on the blue.

Although technically illegal, cream pearloid would look nice but hey, whatevaaaar

I've always really liked pearloid scratchplates, but then again I think accordions are cool....

[FuNkShUi]

What about a scratchplate with an accordian on it?

I'd go for b/w/b
You want something that will compliment it, subtly define the shape of the pickguard, and not let the pickup stand out too much.
IMHO of course. :-p ;-)

Cream would be an excellent choice, but pearl is only acceptable if you're playing country, dad-rock, or you are a pimp.
