I should have used the word "photogenic."
I don't mind the antifreeze color (I like it a lot more than
I do translucent orange) but my heart thrills to the darker jewel
tones (red, blue, green).

I think white sets it off well, although not sure about the
secondary color. It looks good on black as well. Probably would
look good on tan or (less likely to thrill) dark gray as well.
It may sound too Ritvikish, but, speaking of parenthetical Deep
Purple comments, I'd like to see a line with purple canopies.
Or metallic gold windows. White space craft with gold
canopies -- Sun Divers! Craft for exploring sunspots. Pretend
that your minifigs can see out but that the blinding harsh light
of the corona can't get in.
