I've always liked yellow. if I ever do a stroker it's going to be yellow with a black valve cover gasket, royal purple oil filter, and shiny stainless intake and exhaust.

that would make for a great garage piece

AMC Blue or black are my votes. Mind you I have a soft spot for Caterpillar New Yellow.
