How much does color matter?

For me color makes no difference.

You have cut through the crap there, babe, a Gordian Knot winner.

I'm white and Welsh, and the racial abuse I get has only been occasional.

I don't care what color it is a long as it's BLACK.

I don't care for multi colored paint schemes or graphics/decals.  I like the bike in a single solid color.  The Frame or the wheels can be different, but the contrast to the body panels has to be correct.
Also, I do like black and silver, but I prefer something that is more visable.   The color is an important part in the descison making when purchasing a new bike.

I gotta say I definitely prefer some colors over others and in some cases so much that I'm willing to go the extra distance to get it.
The good side is that I'm not picky and most bike makers put out some decent/appropriate colors so I haven't ever had to go out of my way to get what I want.
