Tikitomka should be a good contributor to this thread as well since he does a bunch of IP stuff as well as predatorkj and jbone17

Here is my preferred colors

Black bats- Silver Deco Paint , Srx paint , sharpie paint marker
Blonde Bats- Blue Sharpie 
Maple Bats- deco paint , lumacolor , 
Or if they're very light , blue sharpie

You want to stay away from Black if you have the preference. Black fades faster than any color. 

4 of my 7 McGwire GU bats are in black. This was out of my control as he signed them in the clubhouse and then gave them away as gifts. 

3 of them are in blue which I had the option of using. 

If you have bats signed in black , keep them out of sunlight if you can

The type of bat plays more into the fading than light. Glazed vs natural, composite vs single piece, etc

Now that I think about it you definately have a good point. Lighting does factor in. But the bats that I do have signed in black dont have any finish or coating which will definately hold up alot longer compared to those with the finish on them.
I feel much better after giving your point some thought

The SRX gold and silver look awesome on black and dark brown bats. I've used gold this year on a Heyward bat and a Sandberg bat and they come out fantastic. Whatever you do, don't use silver sharpie. Too risky. Silver paint pen can look good too but the prep factor is dicey, especially if it isn't a sit down signing.

Blue sharpie for blonde.

Have fun!
