Found myself today color coding my zip ties.

Neither, just bad taste.
+1 for bad taste do you have a matching jersey?

^Ouch.
My vote is on a bit of both. 🙂

All 3- attention to detail, sadness, and bad taste. Why settle for one?

This,
You good have just gone for black, and still colour matched.
Zip ties not lined up and facing same direction. Poor show 😉

But then there would have been no points for bad taste.
They don't match and they're not trimmed correctly.
Trust me, ties left like that can slice your hand open

Good point, well made.
I have valve caps to match tyre sidewall colour, makes me smile not sad 🙂
No such thing as bad taste.
All other criticisms taken on board.
And then ignored.
Should of used flush cutters though and hidden the knuckles.
Must be sadness, as attention to detail would have cut flush and aligned and hidden the heads of the ties.
Tie wraps look bloody awful at the best of times. Change the for black ones it will look better.

For the man who has everything...
Except a life 😆
Should have cut them flush and then filed the cuts smooth. And used black ones. obv.
For those who know:-)
FPQ, 10 point failure, expect a call from your manager.

Nail clippers get them nice and flush.

^^^ +1
Also why draw attention to something so it sticks out like a sore thumb? Black would have looked MUCH better. Red just says trying TOO hard.
Mine are purple to go with my bike, they are however much neater than those 😉 I say attention to detail with a hint of sad look at me ism.
Here's the thing so many bike builders miss: different shades of the same colour are not a [b]match[/b], they're a [b]clash[/b].
The only way to get away with is to use them in very small quantities, eg brake caliper caps.
