What color gravel/substrate for my aquarium looks the best?

I am getting neon tetras, but i dont know if natural or black gravel will look better. I have heard that darker substrate really pops the color on them, though i want it to have a natural feel. what are your opinions? Here the links to the two different colors:

I prefer the more natural look..however I think you should choose whatever you like better.
And the black would pop the color more I’m sure, but again you should pick what you like.
Good Luck! :]

Pick what what you like! I really like the natural look with palm tree and sunken treasure theme! Best of luck, friend.
I think you should go with black, if those are the only two options you’re weighing on.
darker substrate won’t really pops the color on them, but if you have live plants on the background it will definitely pop their color.
For natural look I will suggest you to get a flourite gravel:

These gravel are also good for live plants because they contain iron.
