It's really a matter of personal taste and how much money you are going to spend.
Personally, I've always wanted a black Tbird with silver scallops on the tank. Not the right colors, but Here's a pic of the pattern taped off.

Black. With black pinstripes. And maybe black scallops.
You might have noticed that black is my favourite colour for a bike. Having said that, I just broke with years of tradition and had my other bike resprayed in a bright red Ford colour ("Colorado red") and I am really pleased with the result.

I always thought the Black with Lucifer Orange Scallops was the best 2 tone Triumph did on any of the Classic Triple line.
