Favorite Color Delica?

I like the blue of the Emerson opener Delica.
Next would be the purple or gray, however I generally carry a black FFG. It was originally a bright blue model, but the color drew more attention than I liked so I swapped the black scales off an old beater SE one I never use onto it.
 
Burnt Orange

I like the stainless and g10 ones the best. I own the stainless, and would really like to have a g10 version; better still would be if the came out with a carbon fiber laminate over g10 like the sage series with the standard vg10 blade.
 
I really like that the stainless version is pinned together so the stainless handle is not interrupted with screws. It looks slick.
 
I like the grey Delica probably because it is the only one I own. Guess I will have to buy a few more in different colors so I can make a little more informed decision. Maybe a green one. No probably blue. No maybe orange. Oh black that is always safe. Just to many choices.

Do like the Grey too. When the Black clips gets scuffed up completely I usually just sand em out.
 
It's funny how everyone has different tastes and preferences .
A number of people have mentioned the Burnt Orange as a favourite .
It is personally my least favourite .
I have no problem swapping and changing the scales on my Spyderco's , warranties don't mean much to me so I assemble whatever takes my fancy , and create unique Delica's with different steels and colors .
The only scales I have left over and unused are the Burnt Orange ( I call it 1970's motel curtain Orange ) .

If I had to choose a favourite FRN color out of my selection it would probably be these Blue ones from a 2006 sprint ZDP189 that I blade swapped a Hap40 blade into .
But the blade steel is a major component of my favouritism of this knife , the unusual blue just completes the package .

I really like my White handled Delica but don't carry it much because I'm afraid of getting them dirty. So my EDC is a black handled ffg.

I do like the scales of the ZDP Delica's (both the old dark blue and newer british racing green), but I like my HAP40 Delica (steel and scales) so well I doubt I'll ever buy one of the ZDP Delicas.
 
Honestly I really like the grey version. I'm not much of a fan of bright colors on my knives. And I didn't want another black handled knife and got the grey. It's not intimidating, but isn't going to draw attention like the more vibrant options.
