I've finally decided on the Pentax K-x to use with my M42 Takumar lenses. I've been putting off ordering one for days because I can't decide which colour would compliment my lenses the best. I think I have it whittled down to 3 colours: black, white or blue. What do you think?

I'd go with black, as any other color would stand out too much. But it's a completely personal thing, some like it if it stands out.

It makes it stand out
But if you are not that ugent to get one, maybe you should wait for another 1 or two months for the new replacement of kx come out. At least at that time, the price of kx would drop a little bit

Black, for sure. But maybe blue would nice ... Pentax really should go "A la carte" as Leica has done, then you could 'pick'n'mix' ! Maybe a yellow top cover with black dial and buttons, with blue covering on the body. And an orange strap to carry it.
But seriously, black goes with any outfit you might be wearing.
