Red.

It know the latter is not period for the bike . I do like garish colours however
So which finish .answers please gents .

I say red and yellow. The barbers pole down tube and forks have been done in days gone by(still is being done!) so why not do the bars?
I think it will work well being in close proximity to the headtube. Might not work if the colours were not a good match but they look to be from your pic. The solid colour tape looks a bit too pink tbh.

If you like looking at it and it makes you happy then crack on!
