Help me choose my stain color for my next build

Hi Guys a luthier is going to make me a Prs body with this master grade flamed maple :

I'm hesitating between an orange Phoenix :

And this kind of blue :

what would you prefer to do with that maple top ?

Ohhhhh, I love that blue color. Maybe a touch darker. I'm not a fan of the orange.

I just like blues when they're dark and deep. The one you posted looks like they were cheaping out on the dye. The orange looks like it was done properly.

Wow, that is a hard one...I love both.

Hard choice :)

I vote for the orange one. Amazing !

I like blue guitar, but bluer than this (royal blue ?)

Is this whale blue ?

I would prefer either of them if they were a bit darker.. but as it is, I prefer the orange one, as GuitarStv sad

Both are killer but have you thought about a black/grey?

What about a classy charcoal/black burst? That's just about my favorite finish on a flamed top.
