Which Koi colors are best for you?

Here is a reference from the Kickstarter campaign page for information on metallic colors:

White - Best for all purpose lantern, the white paper allows the colored lights to shine through the paper itself, so you can change your entire koi into any color you want, blue, gold, or a rainbow display.Gold - The only other paper besides white that lets light through the paper itself. You can partially change the color of the koi when the lights are on, and maintain an elegant gold hue on the fins. The gold does change the color of the lights, so blue light through the paper is more green. Copper - One of the shiniest papers. This thick metallic color only lets light shine through the openings in the scales so that it glimmers at just the right angles. Red - This bold color looks great with lights on or off. Similar to copper, light shines through the openings in the scales.Blue - Very similar to black but with that beautiful sheen like the night sky. It's great for a celestial themed Koi collection.Silver - As shiny as copper, but almost white in color. Unlike actual white, this silver only lets light through the openings of the scales like a glitter of stars.
