Quoted from Skins:

predominantly black

imo black star posts don't reflect much light and are too dark (even if they look cool with the game turned off...)

Hold up... There doesn't need to be a blanket approach to the entire pin, especially one with a clear upper and lower PF.

One approach I've used is where you match the posts to the playfield or plastics of an area, and create "regions" or "zones" of color -- aiming for contrast with other elements such as (targets). Use the rubbers to highlight the "Accent" color of the playfield -- which is usually yellow but sometimes white or bright orange. I used this approach with Sorcerer, and I'm very happy with the results.

What does this mean for a Flash Gordon?

I would experiment: I'd try black posts for the lower PF and red for the middle and upper PFs.

I'd consider yellow or possibly lime green rubbers.

Not white rubbers. Let the color white mean "targets" in this game. Eliminate the use of white otherwise.

Pop bases might go black for contrast.

One pic shows how I matched amber posts with amber plastics.

I used amber, purple, red, black, clear, and green starposts. But they're in different areas so your mind doesn't feel it's too busy or conflicting. As is often the case, the pics of PF and the lighting -- is crap compared to in person with the glass off. It's not easy to find the black or green starposts, but they are in the pics. The amber, red, and clear are most obvious.
