ok, engine will be going in soon and hoses are looking tired so thinking of pimping them to silicone .... but which color.
I already have one for the small water pimp outlet to manifold in blue but although it squeezes on, it is not correct size.
1 m of 16 mm is about # 11 isn't gonn break the bank.
So what colour????
in case you don't know what hose looks like, here is picture of one yesterday.
i would colour code
blue for under the bonnet, red for the outside
i've just ordered all my new hoses from them as well, will let you know the quality when they arrive

what colour's your car? from a random photo in your archive i found a red car, so i'd go red or black. blue seems to look a bit wrong.
what comany is the hose from?

- engine is the blue thing, obvious not the
rope as that is temporary and the red thing is the side panel.
When I ordered my silicone hoses, I wanted black, but it was gonna be an extra few weeks to make 'em so ended up with chav-blue..
Ring 'em and see if they have all colours actually in stock 
black every time
I went for blue, but too be honest since I run a water rail and have no header or heater you only see six inches of hose with the nose cone on
anyway!

i think maybe a little out of context
I'd go black every time, not at all keen on the brightly coloured hoses. However, it does seem that most silicone hose places tend to stock mainly blue, so you may have to wait to get other colours.
Everybody that goes silicone tends to have blue as they tend to be the stocked colour. Black is as said understated but kit cars arent about being
understated are they or have I missed something plus they'd just look like shiny rubber hoses.
Be brave Be different 
and stand out from the crowd Go RED everyone knows red is a go faster colour
ETA I am looking at getting orange ones to match the bodywork of Tango but she who controls the purse strings wont let me And I dont get enough
pocket money
