Elastic Breastplate, we need more colors!

My new addition is a running martingale, which I would like to pair with an elastic breastplate.  My dilemma with this elastic breastplate- the colors. I want enough pop that it compliments a saddle pad or show jacket, but there aren't much options out there.

After a mass search, here are my top picks.  Wanna buy?  Each one is linked to the best deal I could find online!

1)  Stubben- one of the more expensive ones, but I can see why.  Dark blue with light blue stripe, so pretty.  Recommended on any color horse, may wash out a dark bay though.  $289
2)  Antares-  Another pretty blue with white.  The leather is to die for!  $270.00
3)  Prestige Breast Color- Black, it's sophisticated.  Would look great on a grey or chestnut.  $249.00
4)  Pessoa-  I love the slight hint of green, this would look good on any color horse.  The quality is beautiful.  $209
5)  EB:  An overseas product, but look at all the color options! £58.99
6)  V-check:  Order from overseas.  Comes in other color options, but the red it pretty hot.  Would look awesome on a grey or dark bay.  £78.99

7) SmartPak-  I keep hearing such good things about SmartPak brand tack and you can't beat their return policy and customer service.  I love the blue and white stripe, not too dark so you can see it on darker horse colors.  $114
8)  Ovation-  A steal on price.  Blue and white elastic.  $89
9)  HDR-  Good leather for the price.  I like the brown elastic.  $79.99
10)  Joseph Sterling-  Slightly lower quality but a nice basic tan color.  I could see this looking good on  bays and chestnuts. $69
