What color saddle and bar tape would you go with for the following frame? Seems like it should be easy but I can't decide.

I'm thinking black Handlebra with white stitching and a black saddle. Alternatively, maybe white Handlebra with black stitching and a white saddle. Or maybe a combination. The frame has Edge handlebar, stem and seatpost which are all black with white logos if that makes any difference.

All saddles should be dark IMO(just as shorts). There should be obvious reasons for this. We had a club member that wore white CSC shorts most of the time(a young guy). It took a while but a comment from a female member made him understand the error of his ways! Anyway the color tape is a good choice.

Agree with the above; saddle's going to be black. If it's white, there will be too much going on visually. Don't overdo it.
White HHB HandleBra with black, or even a colored stitch as an accent, would be a topper!

There's nothing sexier than than natural honey brown leather. Gives a down to earth, natural, earthy look. But what can I say, I'm biased.

grey carbon tape...can you find a grey saddle? I have a fizik with grey stripe. otherwise, how about red tape, red stripe on the saddle and pedals and shoes with red accents.
