With Utilikilts and other non-traditional kilts, there's more of a leeway. UK's look good with striped knee socks or tube socks, as well as pretty much everything. That said, if you're wearing kilt hose with a non-trad kilt that isn't tartan, it may look better without flashes. The flashes are more of a dress-up thing, whereas a Utilikilt is a replacement for jeans or business casual type of garment (except for the tuxedo model and the leather models, which can reasonably be dressed up and look nice - leave the New Rock boots at home, though).
Yeah, you might look like me:

Looking great!
I'm maybe a "traditionalist" (whatever that may be) myself, but I love to see others wearing uhh...other styles
Rigged...that's a hell of an outfit! tres chique...and those boots match perfectly.

I suppose I'm more of a traditionalist and I was never particularly fond of that style of sock. However, that being said - wear whatever "floats your boat" just consider to be respectful of the kilt and the tradition.
Would a gray pair with the stripe provide a little less contrast and not take the eye away from the kilt? It also might not look half bad when worn with a kilt pleated to stripe. Or as others have suggested worn with a solid color kilt.
Cheers! Bill
