On old school, I love white - it just screams 1980's for me.

On new school, my new frame finish is fecking awesome...will reveal all once it's built!


But, as with cars, some bikes just look right in certain colours and not in others, so it all depends on the bike and the year.

Take your pick:

Smoked 'chrome' Pro Class.

Oldschool Hutch Pro Racer and newschool Parkinson Superstar.  I'm with Stodgy and Dordy, I love white frames.

I also think that the SE Racing baby blue is amazingly cool.

Not quite SE Blue, but close.  Pro-Lite blue I think we will call it.

I agree with Stodgy - I think it depends as well on component selection/colour.

I you just stick a load of frames, all different colours, next to each other then I'd probably say white :daumenhoch:

Black chrome. or nickel, much nicer than chrome when new and taken care of.

black or white are still the best paint colours to make your parts look the dogs, you need a blank canvas.
