Default Motorcycle LED lighting accent

Hopefully this isn't a start of an oil type thread, but is there one type of LED accent lighting better than another?
I was wanting to install some engine area lighting and found LED strips or LED pods, and solid colors or changing colors.
Some change to different brightness, some pulse, some just turn on.
I have a 06 black cherry ultra and was wondering what color would look good?
Any suggestions?

I have and like the ones from Boogey Lights. Lifetime guarentee and they are good at replacing and that go bad. Just pay shipping. But if I were doing over again, I would look into the ones from custom dynamcis. Totally enclosed in plastic.

I have used Boogey lights and Florida Joe's. Both very nice, more bang for your buck with Florida Joe's.

I think the speaker LEDs are only for the rear speakers.

I bought a 5 meter roll of RGB leds off ebay for $25, they are waterproof. And then got a 5 strip controller for $11. It took some solidering and thought on how to run them, but they look good.
