My Raleigh SuperCourse is Copper/Orange so I know what you mean.
The Comp GS is black and I wish it had chromed lugs. It still looks good with
all the chrome, stainless and polished aluminum.
So black w/ white or red decals gets my vote based on the stainless lugs and
the hope that everything else is suitably polished.
If you're going to get it dirty however maybe the red is a better bet.
My 2 cents.
