The reason why I'm asking is if I were to sell the bike, what color would most likely sell.

If u like u can state ur second color choice since I'm allowing just one choice in the polls.

Yellow. No wait...BLUE! AAAaaaaaaarrrrrrrrrrrrrrrgh...!!! (Falling into the void.)

I'd say either natural titanium, natural carbon, or black. That's what I see the most of. Kinda plain, really. I prefer bright yellow, for the record.

Natural metal, of course! So you don't have to push around the weight of the paint...

Everyone knows a red bike will make you 1-2 mph faster on average.

Black and red look so good together.

In the past I've tended toward black, red and white/gray in no particular order.

If I were building myself a super bike today I think that I'd have it painted "triple champaign." It's a color that's very big right now in the hot rod world.

Regardless of the color chosen, super careful prep work and a super smooth spray job make all the difference. Bicycles, because of the tubeing and detailed joints, aren't the easiest thing in the world to spray paint.

My second choice would have to be red. I train on red for my Hoosiers, but race blue for my Falcons.

Butthole Surfers said it best :

"Gotta see a doctor 'bout the words I've said.
and I gotta get a bike and I gotta paint it red."

...and a little later ...

"THEN one day I was playin’ at the gig and in walked the monkey with a couple of funky friends
He came right over and said “this is what you’ll do, you’re gonna get a bike, you’re gonna paint it blue.”

Maybe need a "what color IS your bike?" poll.

Just through happenstance all three of my bikes (road, mtn and road/ss/fixie in progress) are all blue...and they are all steel too...hmmmm.
