    There are too many to chose a favourite.  I once owned a Klein and it was a pearly orange and changed colour depending on how much light fell on it, sometimes it had an almost blue tinge and other's very red/pink.

    My current bike is a Surly, Long Haul Trucker and is a very nice teal/blue.

    Giant have a really nice mid blue that they use.  Looks really good with white lettering.  I have two Giants in this colour.  My Defy and my Anthem.

    The colour I really want on my bike though is natural Titanium.

    Aluminum = gloss black, greys. royal blue is okay but no liked

    Steel = flat colors. Black, natural colors found in military clothes (army green, brown,  NEVER camo) glossy colors makes bike look cheap. Only exception is glossy grays

    NEVER BRIGHT COLORS (reds, yellows, orange, highlighter colors...) NEVER PASTELS 

    NEVER contrasting eye-popping colors and logos (white logo on black frame)

    Not much bothered so long as the bike does what I need it to. Current bikes are white, black, dark grey and silver.

    Don’t care much. Easier to list least favourite colors:

    1) rust - assuming steel 

    2) badly sun bleached 

    3) any metallics or flaked, pearly colors. Any touch-up will be so much more visible than compared to solid colors.

    4) fades, see above. I tend to hang on to my bikes a long time. Some dings and scratches will occur. A nice monochrome and simple graphics is easiest to keep looking decent.

    What I’d actually want on an aluminium frame/fork some day is NO paint. Simply anodizing instead. The minimalist approach. Similarly, for a steel frame/fork, having it Galvanized, zinc-coated would be somewhat cool. Very utilitarian. Hot dipped of course.

    Khaki brown.  Don't look so shocked. 😮  Ten years old with roughly 13,000 trouble free miles on it.  2011 Raleigh Sojourn touring bike.  Color doesn't mean squat in my book.

    I don't mind riding a bike of any color, but I like white, yellow, and blue colored bikes the most. Black ones would be my next preference. The kind of bike makes more of a difference. I prefer road bikes over mountain  bikes.

    Almost finished with the building. My favorite colors now will be Black and Green. Hope to have the Sidewinder on the road soon.

    That comes in dead last on my list of concerns.  Eleven years old & still rides, feels & operates as good as day one.  Meet my 2010 crappy brown colored Raleigh Clubman.
