Huh HAAA! I had that frame in an open FB marketplace tab, then it was marked sold. There's another complete BLB lo-pro bike still up in town, though it's apparently on the small side.
My vote is for silver, with a honey saddle and nice tanwall open tubulars. Painted components on a fixed gear bike scream cheap to me. Do they still do a glossy charcoal anodizing, or smoked chrome?
Even riding 25mm deep old school aero road rims will push your bike around on our frequent gusty days. I also didn't want to deal with the added rotating weight when starting from a stop in traffic.
