Just for the record, the color of my bikes had nothing to do with my preferences OR my decision to purchase. The Cannondale is blue because it was a birthday gift from my wife and that's the color they had in my size. The Atlantis is green and white (looks like Bianchi celeste, though Rivendell says it isn't) because I really wanted an Atlantis and that's the only color they came in. Ditto the orange Rambouillet, though I do like that color. The singlespeed is blue (my least favorite bike color except white) because I bought the frame used and that's the color it was. And my commuter is green because the other choice when I bought it 15 years ago was white..
