I'd love a great orange or yellow or burnt orange.
What I really want, though, is a bike all glittery and red like Dorothy's ruby slippers.
(I agree with Xeney -- it's just COLOR, skip the baggage.
OTOH, I agree that I get annoyed when I see that Jamis Quest in a lovely copper that I love, and then see that if I need the WSD it's a color that only a Bianchi-lover could love.
(Have I insulted enough people? Do I need to keep going? Or just -- GO?)
Anyway, I think the "insult" is when the two bikes are supposedly the same, except for the WSD part, and you see they chose a color that they think women would more likely want -- and it's not a color YOU care for, and then you're insulted that they think YOU would want such an insipid color, and how disrespectful, they sure didn't do that to the guys!
"YOU" meaning "ME" when I checked out that Jamis Quest, of course.
