Actually, I auditioned a lime-green Pro-ject TT for a while and I have to say that it got a lot of attention. People either thought it was a cheap toy (and that was OK because I really don't care to have those people mess with my stuff), or they thought it was some high-end gear that was more expensive than it really was (price guesses ranged from $200-$1000). The black tone-arm and controls actually looked very striking against the green and it was a surprisingly good table for the price.

I replaced it for a higher end MH table recently, but it was not because of the color. I actually liked the table; it was always a great conversation piece when friends were over. I'm not saying that lime green is everyone's color, but a sky blue might score some WAF points.

Who knows, maybe the techy-cool looks are why iPods & Macs are so much more popular than the other brands.
