If you love the bike but don't love the colour - it can be re-painted. If you love the color but are iffy about the bike - not much you can do about it.
Yes, colour does matter! You do want a bike that will make you think "oo, purty!" when you go to ride it. Just don't buy a bike that doesn't fit you well enough because you're bedazzled by a fantabulous colour scheme.
Personally I think the blue and silver is quite feminine.
OT: my dh's main bike is chunky and matt black. He just bought a used bike for winter commuting. It's white with light blue hearts and swirly lettering that reads "Gekko Jewel" :-D You have to be a real man to ride something like that with panache.

Winter riding is much less about badassery and much more about bundle-uppery. - malkin
