Personally I really like silver hubs and silver spokes, as it looks classic without being antiquated/faux-vintage, and works with all colour schemes. Ideally as you're going for OP's I'd say get grey ones. Black hubs and silver spokes looks a bit shit imo. I always tend to go for silver spokes as I can't really stomach paying the mark up on black ones.
But tbh, it sounds like you want some colour, in which case go for it. It's always tempting to get caught up in the appearance of your bike during the planning stage of a build. It's understandable. But fundamentally, this bike probably won't be around forever. The wheels definitely won't so take a chance and go for something different* if that's what you want.
