I would definitely go for mixed colours.

Not a bad choice.
For a different building challenge take <set:6580> minus the
two tail fins (and two more pieces to reach 100).
I can say many evil things about that set, but I managed to
build <URL: http://hugin.ldraw.org/LEGO/Skibe/#katamaran >
only using pieces from that set (and with a newspaper
photographer saying "look this way" and "look that way" to
me at the same time).
What about picking 100 pieces at random with the sole
criterium that the length of their LDraw names should be
less than the average length of LDraw parts names (to reduce
the number of specialised parts)?
Play well,
Jacob
