I think coloured components can look good as long as you don’t go silly with them. My stem, hubs and two of the pivot bolts are a matching blue, everything else is black.

Whenever a new bike trend comes in, it takes me ages to get used to it. Things like super slack head angles, steep seat tube angles, 29" wheels to name a few.
I'm also not too keen on a few things that seem to be on newer bikes like:
- Downtube beer bellies, I understand it's to get a bottle in. Some are worse than others.
- Suspension pulley wheels so you end up with a high chainline.
- Dropped chainstays, especially when the rear of the bike is asymmetrical.
- Slack looking seat tubes
