I'd go for black if your keeping the black plastic surrounding (trying to mentally picture the CVT shifter). I've got a black leather boot with a black shifter ball on mine which looks pretty good.

Also make sure the shifter drops down far enough. As you can see from my pic, the boot sits very low on the stick and leaves a goofy looking gap. You probably won't have ths problem on the CVT though.

If you get a proper shifter boot and you won't have this problem.
