    I'm a bit burnt on the classics like SB, black, red, white, and don't care much for 60's pastels. I like metallic finishes a lot, like Inca Silver, Shoreline Gold, and most shades of blue besides baby blue.

    I've really been diggin metalic burnt orange lately. Or the red and white candy stripped Charvel in the super Strat thead. That was killer.

    I've wondered about this same question as well.

    The blue/mint/rosewood does look nice.

    Black with maple is a classic.

    I like a tritone with rosewood and white or mint as well.

    Daphne or Sonic blue are both great. Any white looks great with a white pickguard, too. Olympic, Arctic, Vintage white. And my favorite Fender color is Lake Placid Blue, but I don't like it nearly so much on a Strat. That's really a Tele color in my mind.

    I really like my Candy apple red strat but sunburst is a classic wouldn't mind seeing a butterscotch one as well.

    Nope, Paisley is great for 80s Superstrats but really not that great for Strats circa 2011.

    Midnight Blue, White and last but not least Sienna Burst on the other hand...

    Any of the unearthly colors from the 50's for me. If it looks good on a huge American 50's car with lots of chrome, it should look great on a Strat.
