If your cable has color to it that is not natural polished stainless steel or maybe titanium it is probably coated and best to avoid that. Slick stainless cables that are nicely polished will always work nicely and if you use a good outer it will be very smooth and shift well which is the most important thing. Jagwire does some excellent housing in different colors so you can worry about that later but just make sure it is the right cables and housing and you are gold.
