You don't know what color you prefer to look at?

Black. It looks stock. That's my preference.

Much more importantly, find out where the mechanic is getting the hose. Cheap silicone will still break down and become weak and lose it's color but good silicone will not.

Go to the Single Turbo forum and look at the sticky that says "Lets see your single turbo setups". Loads of pictures.

Stay with black. I have red on mine and wish I went with black. They look like crap when they get dirty and they can become a pain to keep clean:
