8)I used to be all about colors other than black (my '03 LS is the blueish green color offered that year ...), until I saw Russ Mitchell of
Exile Cycles
work on "Biker Build-off" ... when it comes to "bobbed" Bikes, flat black is where it's at! Sure ya can jazz it up with a cool white flame job, some red trim, red rims and the like, but flat-black just says "Street"!!
Harley even offers a flat black ("black denim" they call it) paint job on their beautiful new 2006 FXD "Street Bob"!

I am an artist, if that means anything. And I think the green and the electric blue look the best.
If you are looking to be different, then I would go for the blue. If you want to mimic all the new custom models, then I would go with the green.

Red is my favorite color, but after saying that, my bike is black. If I had to repaint mine, it would be Red with blue/white accents. But I love the "gasoline" effect paint. don't know exactly what it is, saw it on a race car one night. WOW

I do not like green motorcycles. Despite my penchant for black, red and blue are both okay colors to paint bikes. Here is one we were ragging on a little in a V* 1100 forum:

Agreed!
So, make a decision yet? We're waitng with baited breath!
BTW, I was thinking blue paint with white pin or racing stripes might be pretty d@mn hot, too.

According to Mr.Garner, my HS, art instructor, 'black is NOT a color, it is the absents of'.
You were not allowed to have black paint or he would wreck your grade! ??? 8)

Despite the fact I think there are only two colors to paint a motorcycle, black and flat black, I bet the electric blue would look b!tch!in' with a couple of candy red highlights, e.g. red sprocket, fork lowers... but I have no taste.

And when looking at it from that point of view (that of light's frequency spectrum) white is the combination of all colors. However, when I mix all the colors of paint together it comes out looking more like turd and less like white.

Personally, what I think would look just awesome would be to make it appear to be woodgrain but with paint - not veneer. That would rock.
