Nice selection

Miami Blue 
Had a Strat and Tele in it. Both stunning in the flesh with maple necks but it photos really weirdly.

I like the colours that fade/change to other colours so you can see bits of both, Maui blue and Daphne blue start to go green as they fade or oly white as it yellows. 

I’m also a sucker for really faded pastels, sonic blue, Tahitian coral and the like. 

Or black ifs reliced with a tort pickguard.

This, the Miami Blue with the mint green pickguard, as on the Am Pro II series, is just FANTASTIC!

I like a slightly beaten up three tone sunburst with a rosewood board.  
Or Fiesta red.
Or Burgundy Mist.

Tbh there aren’t many colours I don’t like.  I can even appreciate the Antigua.  I think this translates as, I like Strats!

Oly White 

All the pastel shades.

I much prefer the 50s aesthetics when I comes to Strats.  Maple board, single ply 8 hole guard etc. 

Looks cleaner and more elegant than the 60s look for me

I don't think they ever improved on the original - has to be sunburst with maple board.

If I had a back up choice it would be more of a 60s design - surf green with a rosewood board.

OilCityPickups

In order of my own preference: 

Olympic white
Sunburst
Black
Shoreline gold
Shell pink
Daphne blue

Though to be fair I've always seen the Strat as the ultimate beautiful supermodel ... looks good in anything. Well apart from that disgusting faded Malteser brown with a black guard and black pickup covers they did in the 70s.

I've got a selection of Strats and can't say I'd particularly thought about their colours until this thread; based on that I guess I have no preference.

(So long as it's not fake "road-worn".)

Sporky

Lake Placid Blue, obvs. Candy Apple Green is nice too. 

thermionic

Cabbage White.

Haych

In no particular order:

Natural ash with black guard and R/W board
Vintage white (do they even do that colour any more - used to be a thing but haven't seen it for years?)
Two tone tobacco burst
Sea foam green
Surf green
Candy apple red
Black
Lake Placid blue

Basically, money no object, I think I'd have to have one in every colour

Caribbean Mist. I have a WTB advert for one in fact!

I also like all the metallic colours from the late 80s/early 90s. 

Also a big fan of the 50s maple board, sunburst, single ply. 

Maple fretboard is the correct fretboard for me. Anything else feels wrong. Odd I know.

Just picked this up at the weekend, is just what I was after. Will post a NGD when it is an actual G!

 I like all the early custom colours except black.  Particularly keen on Shoreline gold. 

I bought these 60's Strats for the colour only. 

Classic 60's Cerulean blue FSR and  Vintera Modified in Burgundy mist. 

Kalimna

Ebony fretboard.

Lake Placid Blue
Slightly darker than usual Candy Apple Red
Bubblegum Pink

And top of the pile : Graffiti Yellow

Chuffola

I don't like most of the 50s pastel colours - surf green / daphne blue etc. Too "nice" to be rock'n'roll.

My favourites would be Olympic White (Rosewood), 3TS (RW), Fiesta Red with Mint Green guard (Rw). For maple boards, 2TS, Olympic White (with Tort guard) and Black. 

Traditionalist? Moi?
