Default Swim platform "color" on my boat?

So made up my mind and purchased the swim platform from Aluminum fabrications... I just received the powder coat color sheet and they need a color choice by Friday. Im torn between the grey and white gelcoat on my boat.. Im just a very indecisive person and cant make up my mind. What do you think?

Thanks fellas

The one I bought:

I think grey would look great . .. & hide any exhaust soot the white will show

Not white. It will look dirty. Grey will be stealth. Black and blue would be options as well. Would be interesting to see it in blue to match the hull side stripe..

White here, it sort of goes with your white windshield frame. Nice light clean look that would almost be like a sun pad extension since that is white also. Those things clean up nicely so I wouldn't worry about it getting dirty.

Wow... we are all over the board here. lol. Never thought about the blue(which is actually green). The green would be cool but the fact it looks like blue half the time when on the water probably would not work.

Gray. The white would catch your eye too soon. I think white would take away from the boat.

I also agree seeing the blue options may be a good possibility. If not white.
