Be sure to try the Jagwire "housing swatch-a-lator"...
"Pick a color to preview what your bike could look like. Check out
all the colors Jagwire offers! Now you are no longer bound to the
same old housing colors. Options are aplenty; match your bike, kit,
or make something outrageously hideous or beautiful \u2014 it's up to you."

I used the "sterling silver" braided housing I got from Velo Orange to match the silver rame paint on my Kiyo Miyazawa keirin track bike. <http://us.st11.yimg.com/us.st.yimg.com/I/ yhst-84224226242177_1944_1229350>
