I just got my body, neck and pickguard from warmoth and I'm undecided as to what color hardware I should go with.

What do you think?

Chrome or Gold.

A gold trem would look really nice against the body color and would give it an overall"classy" look.  Chrome just goes with anything.  I think in this case black would work, but may be a bit dark, especially beyond the tuners.
 
the more I look, gold will blend in to much, black will argue with the finish

it has to be nickle/chrome
 
I'm a black hardware nut, but I gotta vote for Chrome here, unless you changed pickguards.
 
Thanks for the input everyone. I was feeling gold myself, but wasn't too sure. After reading the thread, I think I'm going with gold.
 
I say Gold, but be prepaired to wipe it down often, and when i say wipe it down, i mean rub it clean with a soft cloth once a week or so, or at least every few times you play it. Gold is hard to keep clean for some reason. Chrome is almost maintenance free.  Even black needs a good dusting once in a while.
 
I think it looks like a gold to me BUT! my first Warmoth build a VW 5AA quilt tobacco burst that has after a few years begun rubbing off and now looks like a chrome and gold mix in some spots so if it were me I'd go chrome or black.
