Gnarly press! I'd do it in some earth tones like brown and blood red.. it would match the environment :)

oh, the colour....

either you don`t paint it (or paint it how esscher said, a little blood red would enforce the effect) advantage: it fits perfectly into the the dark and somehow creepy environment and could maybe used also as set for a quentin tarantino movie or a horror shocker or splatter
or you paint it in some light colour. advantage: the room doesn`t look that creepy anymore and you get better fotos the next time

i only can start a method of elimination: don`t paint it babyblue, don`t paint it pink, don`t paint it all black...

I have to ask, is the tubing some kind of heated cattrack?
As to color sunflower yellow has always been a favorite.

You don't even have a legit signature, nothing to reveal who you are and what you do...

Best of luck to you. (uneva)
