Given the long run of Paramounts--60+ years--I would think the offerings of color over that time would be hard to beat. Panasonic offered a "pick a color" or some such scheme in the 80s where you could pick from a plethora of color combinations, making it look like you were getting a custom bike of sorts. I don't have any idea how those numbers of colors stack up against the entire range of colors offered by Paramount over those 60 years. I would think that if you include the 1980-2004 offerings, that Colnago would be up there with different colors too.
