Default Need opinions on frame color (please read before voting, thanks)

I am trying to decide on a frame color for my new Dyna build.

This bike may end up being my wifes bike if she likes riding after she takes a riders safety course in the spring. If not, we will be selling it. I bought the bike to flip it, but she showed interest in it so it may stay around.

We want something appealing to a guy should we end up selling (dont want to limit potential buyers) but it has to look good for a girls bike as well.

The bike will be painted silver, with some sort of design that will tie in the frame color. The engine will be black, the covers will be silver.

Here is the bike (new seat being made)





Here are the two possible colors I am looking at

That Candy Red would really stand out and POP! That's my vote.

I'll drop a vote for the red, too. My reasoning is that I think the silver and blue has been overdone, and I'm not sure how that would go with the black engine? I can see the red frame in my mind's eye and bringing the black and silver into it seems easier

Both colors will possibly limit potential buyers. The only safe frame color in my mind for sales purpose is silver.

I just got done reading about 100 of your posts. Man, you are a negative dude! Black is boring, why would I want to leave it black when I have the perfect oppertunity to make it any color under the sun?

Other. Black. If not black then silver to match the tins. For some reason I prefer frames black regardless of the color of the tins, but if you must paint it then I say it should match the tins. When it comes to painted frames I absolutely hate it when they are done in a color different than the tins.

You may limit potential buyers with the blue or red.

The blue and silver are always a good combination
