I have seen the Cobalt Blue its deep and very nice I always felt that a dark rich color looks great when waxed. Your money your decision go with your gut feeling

I fell in love with my bike's color first time I saw a pic. Then I waited and started questioning myself and what others thought and confused myself all over again. Then I went with my original gut instinct... and love it. Go with what originally catches your eye and don't question it.

I like the deep cobalt, it stands out amid the sea of black bikes. Black is cool, and is the color of my bike. I tried another color before, and everytime I saw a black bike, I wishedI had black again. So here I am afraid to change! The White gold is nice in the sunlight.

Black is always a safe bet. You'll see alot more of them on the road but that's cause it looks good and, hell, you can just console yourself by telling yourself you saved a few hundred bucks toward the purchase of that custom paint job you'll covet in a year or two. I recommend that you wait and get something from the '08 paint chart. I'll attach it here for those who haven't seen it yet. Personally, I think the copper/red scheme is going to look badass on the Fatboy.

Colors? What's that, Don't all Harley's come in that same nice really dark color, guess that's what your calling black, but I didn't know it had a 'name'.
I thought it was Harley color, just like Model-T's,and that other brighter tint that looks a little like a pumpkin.
