I say dark blue or pale silver. Black would be overkill and wash out the nice blue already there. If you did a darker blue 2tone, I would recommend putting a pinstripe about half an inch under the top color in the same color. That will give it a bit of a stylized edge so its not just 2 blocks of color...

Well here's a quick shoperoo of what I meant. I think youd probably want the pinstripe a bit thinner though
