Subtle ones: black, white, silver, light blues, grey. I also prefer solids on Mk1s - even though mine is painted in a metallic :)

I think the bright coloured ones look rank, but there are a few exceptions, as always :D

P.S. There are quite a few nimbus grey Mk1s on Vortex - they don't actually look very good IMO :( I was going to paint mine this colour, but searched around and wasn't impressed in the end!!
