I've found over the years that black holsters seem to wear best for me. As for the trim, I have one in elephant and one in shark. Both are beautiful. It just depends on your personal taste. The only recommendation I would make is that you add a matching magazine case if you haven't already ordered one. Some people don't bother with carrying a spare magazine, but I always have one with me. The case helps keep "pocket dreck" out of the magazine -- and that stuff can really accumulate quickly inside an unprotected magazine.
