Rainbow since it's likely to be the gayest bike. 

You never disappoint. Why are you even on here?

Some will. 
KTM have done such a great job of marketing, everything single item is orange… and riders like the orange hat, t-shirt, jetting, toaster, you name it, it’s available in orange. Orange is instantly recognisable as a KTM connection. Similarly, Kawasaki Green makes the same statement. Moreso than what blue does for Yamaha, Red, Honda, etc etc etc..

Triumph should follow this lead in branding, and I just can’t imagine kids and teenagers running around in British racing green caps and t-shirts. 

Haha this is so true. My dog drinks out of a bright orange KTM bowl I got for $2.00 on a Rocky mtn closeout.

I can’t decide what colour it should be, but I can absolutely say please God, pleeeeaaaassse don’t make it black! Any colour is better than black...

British racing green doesn’t seem very attractive to the modern young riders to me.

People like what you tell them to like. Marketing 101.

Design worlds are connected. That shade of green is poppin right now in the art world. Shaker style rooms, cabinets, wall colors, etc. Plus old world colorways are equally hot right now. Triumph would be smart to stick with that green.

I voted for British green but I wonder how the plastics would hold up after a few rides. I remember my navy blue yamaha (the only dark color bike I've owned) held up ok, but I've seen some thrashed looking black Yamahas. 

 

The coolest would be if they let you pick at the point of sale for the color of plastics and graphics you want. Lord knows the dealers charge enough for bike setup. If they can't check for grease or lube, maybe they can install my choice of plastics and graphics?

I too voted for the dark green since its the color I think of when I think Triumph.

But it would be cool if they offered it in a bunch of colors like you and another poster said. It would be cool if  they also let you build the bile to order like a car. Picking out other options. Tall,short,softer or firm seat, gearing changes, tire options, colors for hubs,rims,clamps, etc. Still offer base models, but instead of a Factory or works edition that are all the same. Offer the custom edition. And ship it to the local dealer for the customer to pick up just like a car. I'm surprised KTM has not already offered this ,since they have a big assortment of  Power Parts I guess they leave it to the dealer to do. It just seems like the next evolution of the works/factory editions.

British racing green and a brown seat is what should happen. If I was betting I will say black and neon"ish" yellow.

There's really only one yellow bike...

That would look good.

Suzuki's entire world wide motocross and off-road racing effort, professional and amateur, 250 and 450, consists of less than 10 bikes. There is plenty of room for more yellow, it is a great color for a dirt bike. Green accents would make it unique.

In the 70's and 80's there were a ton of yellow bikes in professional and local racing between Yamaha and Suzuki.

imo they should be black. that would make an intense statement out there. forest green may be consistent for the brand, but I feel like black would really cement this as a new machine to be very aware of.

For UK (Triumph) aficionados, I think it would be spelled "Grey"
