Gotta be black or white with maple! If you get the white, find an awesome pickguard to pair it with; if you get the black keep it with the white pg, I personally love the somewhat classy look it has.

Sunburst is also really cool, I prefer the 2- to the 3-tone.

I'm leaning toward the white with rosewood.
Someone else replied with how classy it looks.

Candy Cola is awesome!!

My favorite is white, though. Any white! Arctic, Olympic, Vintage ....in different combinations with different pickguards and hardware,

But that's just me!

Get the Candy Cola one! :)

Black and white is boring, charcoal is ugly (just my personal taste, of course!)

Candy Cola. With a maple fretboard. Black or white are classy colors, but it's that red color that'll drive folks wild.

Chromeface; I have that exact configuration. Gorgeous guitars.
Next up is a Black with Rosewood and a mint green pickguard; oozes elegance.

That was the first to catch my eye, but they are not even listed on any sellers' websites yet. Not even with an available date posted. So it looks like this one is a few months away.

There's also Mystic Blue and Mystic Black.

Mystic Black was a colour option for the Plus series and the Custom Shop Jeff Beck Strat in the late 80's and early-to-mid-90's. I think Fender should bring back Mystic Black to complement the first two colours, so you gotta have three mystic finishes to choose from.
