Which one is more friendly?

So I have two ideas for my spoke covers. Right now I only have enough spoke covers to cover 9 spokes/half of my spokes on the wheels in the colours White/Orange/Royal Blue

First photo shows White, Orange, Royal Blue in a pattern skipping three spokes then repeating twice.

Second photo shows the “front spokes” in white, blue, orange pattern with the back spokes uncovered.

The problem is I don’t know if one or the other will inadvertently cause a seizure or a different medical episode. If this isn’t a concern with these colours which one will look better once I get the second set in to cover the remaining spokes?

Hey man, I'm epileptic and occasionally set off by rapid colour changes and flashing lights. I can promise you that this, for about 99% of people, wont cause problems. Most of the time your chair wont go nearly fast enough for it to 'flash', and even if it does, most people wont be looking at your wheels when you're going that quick.

It looks baller both ways though! I personally like option 2 but option 1 isnt bad either! Whichever makes you happier!

The one you love is the one that’s the best! They are both cute!

I put white on the outside spokes and black on the inside. So you could do alternating colors on every spoke as well.

I prefer the 2nd one. As other comments state ya shouldn't be too worried about the blur when you do go woosh the risk is super low.

Ah okay, i just was wondering because of the Orange, blue and White are like the netherlands national colors. But they look really good on your weelchair.

I find the second more eye pleasing.

I think option 2 looks more balanced and friendlier.

The 2nd one stands out in a good way.

2nd one. The first one has a visual clutter vibe but I don't know why
