Straps that go with PRS colors?

Anyone find good matches for straps that go with PRS tops? Specifically blue in my case. I have an all black strap for my lake blue PRS, and not sure what else would look decent with it.

Silver Skys probably have an easier time of it, being a flat color, but custom 24 tops have a lot of detail so straps that are busy look like they compete with that.
 
My Lake Placid Blue Strat looks nice with a dark brown strap. Black goes with everything though.
 
Check out the wide array of Souldier Straps--in particular, I like the "Standard Guitar Strap" line, mostly in the "vintage" fabric category. You're bound to find some fancy colors that coordinate and/or match with your particular guitar.

Bonus: they will fit over the standard PRS strap buttons if you slice open the cut in the leather end-tab juuust a little bit more using a standard box cutter or Xacto knife.
 
Levi Leather and Walker & Williams make straps in a variety of colors and styles. Just look on Amazon. That is where I find mine and I pick each strap to match the guitar it is on. Look at my pics in the "Lets See The Family Photos!" thread, or "Get Your Straps Out" thread.

I'm really looking for color ideas and thought people with lake blue guitars might weigh in.
 
LM Products Heritage in Poseidon Blue.

I have a couple of them(in black)...
I like the hidden tail adjustment. It was the closest thing I could find to my old favorite; Mountain Learherworks as sold by Stew-Mac in the early 90s.

Also might be a good match. Hard to tell if any blue would go or if one of these would just be slightly off.
 
They have quite a few colors and choices.

I do the 2.5"

Edit-excellent high quality leather with top notch stitching. None of that saw dust leather or cheap crap. I find padding isn't needed with a quality 2.5" leather strap, unless a super heavy guitar or bass. A PRS bonus of going with real leather is it stretches and molds to get a nice fit over PRS strap buttons better than strap locks.

For the price these can't be beat. I have quite a few. Besides El Dotado straps these are my go to.

I have a Levy's 3" cotton black strap. It's okay. It does the job. Just wondering if I could better.

Just like with basses, you can always do better; or at least different. I’ve got a really nice padded green paisley strap that matches my green Guild to a tee, a brown PRS strap that matches the tobacco burst on my PRS, a fine leather strap that came with my Ken Smith, and a cheap black nylon strap for my Ibanez Mikro. They all look fine on stage and work just right.
 
I really like Levy's leather straps. I have two (2" and 2.35") and both are very durable (also great looking!). So I highly recommend checking their straps :)
