Please help me pick the color on my Soldano SLO

Help me pick a new color amp - thoughts/opinions/feelings. I have a Soldano SLO 100 that I recently purchased. I'm not really in love with the surf green that came with the amp. I have found somebody who really loves the surf green (it is sold and spoken for), but now I have to choose a new color.



I am mainly P&W and blues player, so nothing TOO crazy. If I found a tolex elsewhere that looked nice (I've been looking at Marshall Green), I could go with that, too. The colors with the black X through them are no longer available. Colors not shown are 'plain blue' and 'dark green lizard.'

The amp sits on top of a black Marshall 1960A 4x12 cabinet at the moment. I was hoping you could help me out. What are your thoughts? Please don't limit your thoughts to the poll only. Those are just colors I was partial to.

These colors below are the available colors directly from Soldano.





One more color from www.ampwares.com

Marshall Green

Thanks!

Jonathan

I have a serious case of aesthetic OCD... and I am a firm believer that, if your cab is black.. gotta have a black head

From the complete list my favs are orange, red, and the western-ish leathers.

I think there´s nothing that is as classy and hot at the same time as a white head... but maybe cream would go better with the gray-ish front and knobs in this case.

I also don´t think it looks bad having the cab and head in different colors, I have a wine-red head on top of a black cab and I´m fine with that. Granted, matching looks better, but different is OK too.

Purple. That's the color I see when I hear Warren Haynes. And he's a SLO user.

I am glammy and wild so I say BOA or Purple (being a Prince fan) is VERY ROCKSTAR!

Thanks for all the input! I really appreciate everybody's thoughts on this. All the colors seem pretty close in popularity except the old purple. It's not making it any easier

I do like purple amps. I have a purple Naylor SC38 1x12 combo. I'm keeping the Naylor and didn't know if I should mix it up a bit. Is there such a thing as having too many purple amps?
