Why does my bike look better with a black Thomson seatpost and silver Thomson stem than with both being black?

I presume ill crash and die now

It doesn't. You are wrong. Sort it out immediately.

Better off selling the whole thing and starting from scratch.
Photos or description of the bike might help.

Maybe if has fancy paintwork with different colours on head and seatube, or if more exotic and a polished headtube with carbon seattube? Not saying it's impossible, just that clubber's not wrong.

Mine has a black seat post and white stem, actually both of my bikes do 😯

Will I die twice?

Of course.

Only the second time will be worse than the first. 😈

Thankfully the mismatch helps the eye avoid the bikes overall ascetic.

So, does it matter if the stem/bars/seatpost are all different brands, if they're the same colour?
