Hi TC,
Certainly love the Pacific Blue look with Silver fittings and Red Reel that just pops. These are colours that strike against each other and don't make the machine look dull at all.
From looking at this photo I don't know where you came up with the Black accents scheme from as it wouldn't be doing the overall look of the machine any favours.
In actual fact I always loved the colour scheme used on the Model 45 Lawn King which is pretty much represented on the machine in that photo.
Cheers,
BB.
