Doesn't matter. Everyone knows red is the fastest color. I don't have a red bike, which is why I'm so slow.

Any color, except BLACK, I hate those dark, subdued colors. In my eyes this years crop of production bikes are UGLY!:thumbdn:

I prefer the "industrial look" so it's metallic colours and carbon/graphite for me.

Daark, deep forest green.
My first bike was green too, so I have this idea that a real bicycle should be green. Oh yeah and
bicycle that I rode at 4 years old - was also green.
Tomorrow I will paint my ugly grey Schwiin in a color, you guessed - GREEN.
Oh yeah, green bike is pretty invisible laying in the grass if rangers are looking for you from the helicopter somewhere in Denali National Park...

I, personally don't like such colors because they remind me of "NEW BIKES"... while I like classic old, traditional touring bicycles...
IMHO.

One is black, one is blue/green and white and one is gold.
My favorite color is celeste, on a Bianchi of course.
