Black, maybe with a bit of sparkle.

Lairy gets very tired very quickly.

Apparently I recommend white with red and black bits:

But there's a lot to be said for lairy:

Orange is the best colour for mountain bikes. ๐Ÿ™‚

I'd say subtle and classy, but then I've got a snot green Kona. So what do I know? ๐Ÿ˜•

A friend of mine had an NS Surge in a lovely blue colour - sort of similar to a Yeti colour but a bit deeper blue. Really was a nice colour and if I change my Turner I think I'll try it.
