Green or blue, either of those will work being painter's tape (no residue after removal).

I use the blue. There are two types of blue, the regular one and the delicate. The delicate one can be applied for a very long time without leave any residue, but the adhesive might not be strong enough to survive the trip, so I recommend the regular blue.
