I like red, but out of all the bikes I've had silver/grey was the best color as far as cosmetic durability. My Cannondale and '98/'99 KTMs all looked great in silver after a season in the woods. I've had white Hondas and Huskys and they look nice when new, don't show plastic stress marks, but take a bit more work to clean up nice if thats what you want to do, especially the shrouds where the dirt gets rubbed in by your knees. A layer of clear vinyl background material works great on all shrouds to save the plastic/graphics from knee brace abuse, just heat carefully, peel off and replace the worn areas as needed.
