There used to be a phrase, "a good horse is never a bad color"...my bike is bright blood red and black and I love it. I didn't set out to buy any particular color of bike, that is just the one that fit best and felt best to me-color was totally of no importance in the choice. If it was blue (or green or pink or white), I'd still love it, even though blue isn't one of my favorite colors-I'd live with it.
