Zeus has a candy apple brown that looks pretty good to my eye:

Recently, a lime green Zeus sold for a pretty good sum on E-bay:

For me, my personal favorite worst color has to be "dusty pink" as used on Austro Daimler Ultimas from about 1979 on:

To each his (or her) own.

I have a Zeus bike very similar to that brown one. Here's the really funny part: Zeus called that color 'apricot.'

Huh?
