Default stock color... which one?

Just finishing up a new stock on what will belong on my sheep rifle (if I ever go. ) The metal is all satin black and I dont know what color to paint the stock. The two colors I am leaning towards are plain old black, or tan with black webbing, but could paint it whatever.

Less webbing in general or the webbing itself thinner?

Tan with black webbing is what I will most likely end up doing.

I have a Tan w. black webbing, grey w. black webbing, white with black webbing and the usual black with white webbing. All on stainelss rifles but I think the tan with black webbing looks sharp.

I'm going to be painting my current project stock tan with white and grey webbing.

Here are a few pics of the tan w. black.
