Yellow wasn't my original first choice, but my daughter gave me the handlebar tape as a gift. When it gets dirty and/or worn, I'll replace it with something else, but in the meantime it makes her feel like she had a part in the restoration.
As for the black seatpost, it definitely would look better than the silver one. I did a lot of the work on this bike during COVID and parts were in really tight supply. It appears that black seatposts in 27.0mm are now available again, so I will likely change that.
