Any suggestions on what band looks good with Aluminum Gold? I'm torn between the reflective black and the hyper grape but not sure

Here is the Nike hyper grape sport loop on aluminum gold (Series 0 shade of gold). In real life, the colors are far less distinct than the camera sees. And indoors, normal daylight, the white reflective threads register very strongly to the eye. The result is the band looks much lighter than many photos portray.

ahhh i have the series 3 (rose) gold. i've found blue, purple, pink, and white bands fit this color the most
 
Well all three bands are now here. Pretty much anything blue is a winner in my book, so Delft is great and an obvious choice for me. It looks very similar to Royal (which I do not have). I'd seen the photos of both Hyper Grape bands and knew I had to order them. Upon opening them up and having an in person look, they are fantastic. If I had to pick the best of the lot I've ordered, it is hands down the Hyper Grape Sports Loop.

As I've mentioned, I am a huge fan of blue with Navy blue being one of my absolute favorites. The Hyper Grape loop has obvious purple, and green colors but in some light and from a distance it almost looks navy. When the light hits it right, you can see the purple come through beautifully, the black plays nicely on the trim--though a dark purple would have been over the top fantastic. Apple's website is helpful but the photos here I generally find to be more helpful as to what the bands actually look like. This is not a knock on anyone who's shared Hyper Grape Sport Loop photos--in fact thank you for sharing and the encouragement-- but pictures just don't do it justice. 😎

Black Nike Sport Loop will be the next one and Cerulean is growing on me, it just might find it's way in my collection. I agree with the comment, it looks very sea/beach inspired.

agreed on the Hyper Grape sports loop!

since it's reflective, in the right light you can see a hint of that shimmer. I usually notice it when I'm in the elevator with light shining down. hitting it just right. I tried to catch that in pic, but it doesn't really capture how cool it is.

I've almost ordered Delft & Lilac loop a few times now...

Hi sorry it took me a bit to get you some photos but here you go. I tried to capture some of the colors you see in non macro shots of the Hyper Grape Loop. This is what I described in my previous post and why I have come to like this band so much. Then Delft and Hyper Grape Band

I really like the Hyper Grape Sport Loop (ordered a knock off one from AliExpress, not shipped yet), and I want to like the Hyper Grape Sport Band but I don't know why the black and purple there doesn't look as great. The green in the loop really looks amazing.

Yes, I was pretty much a "metal" (Milanese Loop) or "leather" (Black Leather Loop) man with both my original Series 0 Stainless and it's Series 4 Black Stainless replacement, but I seriously love the look of the Hyper Grape Sport Loop both in general and with the S4BS.

It looks so good with it!!

I was thinking about getting the aluminum gold, but it always looked pink in stores (maybe it’s the lighting). In pics it seems to photograph gold.

It does tend to look pinkish in different lighting.
 
After seeing pics here, I don't think I'm getting the reflective Grape band. Colors are too odd to me.

I'm having a bit of trouble finding some nice colors for the Aluminum Gold series4.

Any suggestions would be appreciated
