Default 2016 Iron 883, 3 colors. Which color would you prefer?

I went to the dealer to check out 2016 Iron 883 the other day.
In their demo room, they have "black denim" and "charcoal denim", both do not have ABS. The sales took me to their back storage room, and showed me "olive gold", it has ABS and Security System.
I would like to get a 2016 883 with ABS and Security System. But "olive gold" was not my first color option (I have liked "black denim").But "olive gold" was not that bad when I saw it in person.

Which color would you prefer? Would "olive gold" look girlish?

I am a 5'6" Asian guy, a fresh new beginner.

Thanks!

Olive Gold looks somewhat like the old military Olive Drab, certainly not "girlish" to my old eyes.

They are all nice.

ABS is nice to have but not necessary. You can install a security system on the other two. You pay a premium when it is installed on a new bike. How much more is the olive gold bike?

There are tons of black bikes but that is the look some are trying to accomplish "black out". I like contrast and color so it depends on what look you want.
