I think the Teal/White is the best color combo they currently make, but I may not think that years from now.
Black and black variants look classic for all times. One of the selling points and a prime factor in picking my color was it had a good deal of a black. And I'm still as happy with my color choice today, as I was when I bought it.

That said, I agree with almost all the posts so far. All great advice. You have a tough call ahead of you.

Black. Anything else is a mistake. Sure, some color combos look good and the fairer gender should certainly partake Anyway, you'll never regret black. Blacked-out or chromed-out, aped or dragged, accessorized or bobbed, black will keep you happy. Also, everyone likes it (if you sell later). Bottom line, it looks way better too - a man's bike! I have Red and hate it. Will be replacing or painting the tins asap. I roll without a front fender just so there is less 'color'.

As long as it matches your belt, boots and...purse - you're good.

JK...I'm always a sucker for black.

Cool

I feel for ya. That teal and white is such a clean, retro flavor. I love it especially with the wide whites. Really gives the Deluxe a run for it's money in the looks department. But what the hell, I went with Black Pearl and love the dark side too so what do I know. Best of luck.

Naw, just look again at my bike...

My brown matches your boots, and my black matches your vest.
Couldn't be simpler. But a 110th Anniversary bike, and your golden. So to speak.
