i think that black would probably be less noticable than any other colour.

Black will stand out. I have a light blue Ford T-bird and it has the tint built into the glass, its a light green tint and it fades into the clear glass windshield or "windscreen" in the UK ?
Looks and works good.
With a strip you won't get the "fade-to-clear look" as it has a sharp edge.
Black is nice looking but very obvious.
I know the lighter colors on a windshield are less obvious but do work and actually lower the sun glare and heat in hot weather.

just my opinion.

my fried has a greeny coloured civic and can't get one to match his car. he eventually went for a mat-black sunstrip and it looks really tidy. Mat-black is the way if you cant match a colour
