I went with flat black on my last one, not that brand though, and still glad about it. Scratches from normal use dont show up like the glossy ones do.

For looks, Matte Black. I have a Matte Black Scorpion EXO-400 (worn with a red jacket) that I love. A little hot at stoplights when it is hot out but once moving again, not bad.

For saftey, especially with that tan jacket (which looks killer btw) I would maybe consider something a little flashier/brighter. I could see you pretty much disappearing in those colors.

Did you check out silver? Works with most colors and is MUCH cooler than black. Temp-wise that is.

Ditto, Eldar.

KBC is another of those 'generic' brands out there, originating from the far East. They are reasonably priced, meet safety standards and look all right. So if one of them tickles your fancy, have at it.
