What color handles would you prefer?

I have a wide range of colors available to me for making pick handles and I'm about ready to start selling sets. So far I have several in progress, mostly black, black/white marble and a glow-in-the-dark set. I want to know what colors people prefer, so here's a poll.

This is kind of what I mean by "marbled":

EDIT: please note that this image doesn't correspond to the colors in the poll...it's just to give you an idea of what marbled color looks like. It's also NOT an image of my pick handles.

I do not currently, nor have I ever, worked for a U.S. Federal Government law enforcement or intelligence agency.

If you are gonna sell these I think the rest of the mod team and admins should get a free pick. You know, to test them out, we need to make sure it's a quality product. :P

Only if you promise not to blab about how shoddy they are before I can sucker a few people into buying sets.

I'd never do that. Seriously though. I need a thin hook. PM me a price.

I found this in the trash after cleaning some spam. I saw this one earlier, and hope I was not the one that moved it. I think this is the correct section I first saw it in.

Hunter blaze would be like dark orange, light orange, brown, and black?

If you guys are voting "other," post with the color you like so I can buy the right clay.
