>> I just got some of the new Japanese produced tape from Rivendell today for the Ephgrave. It's a light minty green, and looks almost, if you squint your eyes, sky blue---. Worth a try, it probably won't match Celeste exactly but is a close, complimentary shade. But if you have to have it exact, you must emulate Sig. Aldo and start dyeing your own.<<

That's why I decided not to put any Celeste on my Bianchi other than the paint! It seems like the shade of Celeste on various accessories depends on the material it was made from. Pumps, tape, bottles, seats; close but not all the same! So for me it's black, maybe white on the next one.
