hmm well if she likes pink accessories, i would've gone with the blue or gray bikes.
this bike might be getting somewhere with yellow tires, white saddle, bottle cages and bartape.

You can completely accessorize it to whatever colors you like. Purple would be fun with the yellow. Bar tape, and go crazy at www.purelycustom.com -- screws, bolts, bottle cages, and more. Go to jagwire.com for cable crimps in colors too. What's her favorite color?

Dang... a yellow bike would be awesome with black and white checkered accessories. They probably don't make those, but that bike is screaming to be a taxicab!!

Livestrong garb?
I'd leave the bike as-is and keep the color scheme (mine is gray and yellow accents. Yellow bar tape, and I have a couple lovely yellow jerseys.It's a little secret you didn't know about us women. We're all closet Visigoths.

I like the yellow and black theme. Or yellow and dark blue.
You sound like a wonderful guy, getting her a bike and being thoughtful enough to want to "pimp" it out stylishly for her. Your mama raised you right!
