I think it depends on whether you want something traditional or a bit more modern in colour.

For trad. Royal ivory, the Maroon of Budsters Stanley, or Rolls Royce Garnet (very nice)

More modern, Spprts Red with black wires, works for me, or Ferrari Mettalic Blue with stainless wired

If you go for Mettalic and need to touch up then it can be tricky to do, mind you the new Sports colours are flat acrylics that are then lacquered so not so easy either.

Have fun cheers
