I mean the parts are good.
As for the color scheme...
The Hue(Great LED controller by the way) will add lighting and change the hue(sorry, bad pun) of the components. If the glass is "smoked black", not much will be apparent. If it is clear, then everything will be visible.
MSI primarily makes Blue and black mobo's
ASRock has some blue and black.
Can't find much else on newegg.
All of these are good Motherboards.
