It was a toss between blue and calico, but I went with calico, it combines all colours!! lol. I just think it looks nice on fish, and the patterns are varied. I have to say I love blue orandas though, so blue would be my second fave, but I have yet to see a true blue around here, my Tiny Tim has green/choc on him!

I went with chocolate, even though I don't have any yet!  LOL!  I once saw a fish on another forum that was a deep chocolate oranda.  Its colors seemed to change from deep chocolate to purple and back again.  It was amazing! :O  I have never seen another one like that one for sale anywhere. *(  My second would be calico, as Claire said, they contain many colors! :thumbsup:

I put in a vote for Blue, but I wish multiple answers were allowed on this one.  I am in love with Calicos, Blues, Blacks, & Whites.   ;-)

I have always loved calico- the patterns, the blue and red, just the uniqueness of each one. It can just seem hard to find a good type calico in many breeds. I had a black bubble eye (stayed black) for 18 years, he was a cool dude- can't say pretty about a bubble eye! The blues and lavenders/chocolates are nice, but just okay for me. If all else is equal, I like solid white, bronze/green and solid red the least. Seems in trying to balance type with color, I end up with red/whites mostly, which is fine.
(gotta love a calico with a wen whose wen is flesh colored- really does look like a brain then!)

I picked blue because here they are quite the oddity.  And I have totally fallen head over heals for the blue/choco bubble eye, Charlie, that I took in.  And then there is Claire's Tiny Tim that I have been in love with since I first saw him.  But most of my fish have been adopted so they were not really fish of my choice.

But when I do go to pet stores or WM and look into the fish tanks, I usually find myself drawn to fish more for their shape and finnage, not so much by color.  And as my luck usually goes if I did ever buy a fish based solely on color it would definately change as the fish grew up........ so my favorite color almost always depends on the type of fish.... I seem to like red capped or blue on orandas, Red/white on ryukin, black on telescopes, calicos for fantails, and as far as any of the dorsalless fish go........ haven't really seen any around here so don't know what I am attracted to there.

my favorite color is Orange, I've always loved the color orange.  In fact, my first car was orange, my Dad painted it for me.  I love the bright cheery color when I look in the tank!

My favs. are calicos (especially where dark colors are dominant), orange/red and white (where orange is dominant), and chocolate.  Why?  They look best in planted aquariums of course :)  That and, hey, who doesn't like chocolate?  Yummy!  lol

I voted black because I recently found a black oranda and I think he is amazing but I have to say that I would LOVE to see a true panda in person.  I have always admired the look of a panda but have never seen a true panda in person. 

I do have to say that I love the look of all white too.  Very graceful and flowing.  I just learned that my daughters boyfriend's mom has an all white veiltail that has a pink hue to her.  I sure would love to see that fish.  She puts them in a pond during the summer and brings them in for winter.  My daughter says she's huge and her tail is real long.  Sounds just beautiful to me.

I had to pick 'other' because you just gotta love those red capped orandas and ryukins :)
The LORD is my shepherd, I shall not be in want.
 
  He makes me lie down in green pastures,
       he leads me beside quiet waters,

   He restores my soul.
       He guides me in paths of righteousness
       for his name's sake.

   Even though I walk
       through the valley of the shadow of death, 
       I will fear no evil,
       for you are with me;
       your rod and your staff,
       they comfort me.

   You prepare a table before me
       in the presence of my enemies.
       You anoint my head with oil;
       my cup overflows.

   Surely goodness and love will follow me
       all the days of my life,
       and I will dwell in the house of the LORD
       forever.

I picked Black because I'm drawn to black goldies more than any other color when I see them in aquariums. But Calico's run a close second and red and white can be awesome too... Really I just love em all.

Me, too, Lari!  However, I tend to like the ones that no one thinks are the "popular" colors.  I like the greens, chocolates, rusty-orange, and yes, black, too!  I like red/white ones, but you see so many of them that it gets boring after a while for me.

Multi-colored fish come in so many amazing variations! I really appreciate a striking solid gold or black too, but the endless possibilities of mixed colors has to get my vote.
