On that frameset, with the ti-matched fork, you might also consider:
silver spacers + silver stem + silver (or even white) bar tape and a black seatpost + black saddle.
Rabobank, etc. used black saddles and white tape all the time and it looked really great. The match/match/match thing is somebody else's conservative "rule" and surely need not be yours.
That is a nice frameset no matter how you finish it, and the simple base ti/black/white palette is open to many combinations.
It is not always "either/or". Sometimes "both/and" looks very good too. So, no norms, just good taste.

I prefer the seatpost and stem to match (i.e. both black or both silver, but not one of each).
