Do a google image search for Baum Cycles - they do some great colour schemes on relatively skinny tubed steel frames.

There's a Gulf Oil Pale Blue/Orange one that I love.

but white is faster

I reckon BR Green out of your list, it looks good now, it looked good when it was first used and it will look just as good in another 50 years.

like the gulf baum

but for skinny tubes I'm very fond of the pearlescent white with black graphics on the early inbreds.
