If you could have any colour scheme possible for your bike, what would you choose?

...does this mean we can switch the thread over to “favorite car colors” then?

I am partial to the Nomads and have owned a few, a 57 F.I. and currently a 56 Dual-Quad Crocus-Yellow and Black.

Over forty victim of Fate
If I could have ANY colors? Well, to me (since I'm a child of the bike boom) chrome socks are a given... Not to mention that they don't chip with constant wheel removal! Chrome driveside chainstay protector or entire chrome d/s chainstay. Chrome lugs or proper lug-lining... (note the lugged steel frame )
...and then after that, any candy color over silver/chrome... -- Plum/purple, Green, Copper/rootbeer, Red, Blue... Fades from one candy color to another could also work - yellow-to-red, or what have you...
Polished silver components (bars, cranks, brakes, levers, etc) NO body-color or black (or gold for that matter)
Graphics - simple name on the frame only, and a complimentary color (preferably the same color as the lug lining).
Wheels - polished aluminum hoops, and polished hubs! NO gaudy manufacturer stickers on wheels, other than the traditional C&V (Wolber, Mavic, etc)... Stainless butted spokes with silver nipples...
Yeah, I'm C&V, through and through!!!

I love the metallic olive color I chose for the repaint of my touring bike! No regrets.
I also love the raw Ti plus matte bourbon accents of my custom Seven

My Caad9 I bought in 2007. I was looking at the Red version, but found the clear coated frame very pleasing.

Is transparent a color?
"Clearly it is not a colour."
"Transparently true"
I believe this has become a circular argument !
