What a nice query, Joe..although not easy for me.. but I'll try..
Not easy, as I do not own enough colored dials, yet alas..
1/ definitely one always is black, especially if the layout of indices and markings
contributes to the contrast, and supplements the character of the piece, such as in the DSA.
Flowers & two appealing sisters
2/ Next to humbly mention a colored specimen - in blue, with some funkiness
LeCoultre Lady in blue from the 70ies
3/ and yet of course some nice silver or white:<
- here with a sunburst finish, a clean dial and RG contrast
( sorry for the lousy photo, the Geomatic is difficult to catch)
Sunny and shiny with a clean face
- anf finally maybe a simple, but classic layout, just in plain white
where sun can augment the pleasing details of the artwork and indications
Plays of sun & shade .. on simple white
just my little few cents,
HAGWE to all ,
Best, hs

What is your favourite colour dial?
Do you have a favourite colour dial or just a favourite style of dial? Or do you like variation in order to spice it up? So, for this week's Wristscan, lets see your favourite dial...be it skeleton, a specific colour, something exotic, something unusual.....
Porcelain white...
.. nice collection there, Joe! From my humble HDD..... This pair popped up as my favorite color.... HAGWE! Ken ...
Thanks Ken....
.....I think if i was going to go for a single colour as favourite, it would be this.... .....the Rottweiler .... black and tan.... ...
I'm partial to both black and grey . . .
. . . when it comes to dials, but there's one color combination that really sets my heart aflutter: black and rose gold. Silver and black dialed Karree perpetual with rose gold hands and markers . . . . . . complementing the rose gold case, and Black Conn...
Like peanut butter and chocolate . . .
. . . both good separately; together - divine! :-)
It's the very last one made, Richard. G O . . .
. . . closed out that dial variation after '04, but agreed to make one more in '07 for yours truly. Best, Art
How awesome is that!?
Lovely piece Art. I really don't get it with these limited editions and close-outs. Far better for the consumer for pieces to always be in production, but controlled by limiting the Nr made per annum. Best! -- Richard.
Oh! What a lineup!
Fantastic collection, my friend! Amazing diversity! :) HAGWE Blomman
I love the colors !
Sometimes, colored dials... But divers in black ... And chronographs in white ... ...
I love that first shot ...
... the watches and colour range are beautiful and are an unexpected pairing. Thanks for the photo! Andrew
Again
I must go with Art :) As much as I try I can't escape his grasp I'm c(l)ueless how and why this is happening :) but again I prefer same as him Black & Rose gold.... mysterious allure for me..... closest second as you can have is enamel dial with red a...
Here's an even better image . . .
. . . of Black Connie that more accurately reflects . . . . . . the rose gold dial furniture, and incidentally, also captures the color of the strap. This photo was taken in early January, so the sun was on the horizon and the sun's light optimal. (Almost...
Have you considered looking for one, Nicolas? These . . .
. . . engraved black dials are fairly rare, and fitted with rose gold hands and markers scarcer still, but they're not impossible to source. A few have been posted over the years on the Omega forum.
Besides the identical Connie with a white dial . . .
. . . and white gold hands and markers, I also have a '56 Longines Conquest . . . . . . with their version of arrowheads. My preference is for Omega's interpretation. Thanks for the kind words, Geo. Best, Art ...
I know what you mean about rose gold and black.....
......it is like breakfast and orange juice..... they just seem to go together
Can't choose only one colour...
It all depend on the watch... White... Grey... Grey-brown... Brown... Black... Sometime you are lucky and the same watch has more than one colour... And sometimes your unlucky and need to get the same watch in several colours...! HAGWE Blomman ...
Good grief!
If I must endure seeing one more Rouge, I am going to scream! (With envy, that is.) Beautiful photos, as always, my friend. respo
The Red...
Is really something for you, my friend! May I propose a trade...? My Red for yout lovely Patrimony...? Deal..?! ;) Best, my friend Blomman
I like your ideas, Blomman
The Rouge probably is for me, so I need to work on that. The Patrimony is not yet mine -- another problem I need to address. ;-) Best, respo
;) I was not clear enough. My purpose was to say that there is a huge difference
Between Erotism and Pornography... Best, Nicolas ...
LOOOOL!!!!! As Jacques Brel said it so well.....
"..mais on y confond allegrement erotisme et gymnatique" or "...but where one confuses happily eroticism and gymnastic" Cheers my friend from Up Above! Francois

LOL!
No, that is just for show... To put you off track! ;) You know I have no tell... ...that you know of...! :) Best Blomman
OMG.. That I call a multicolored deck of cards to choose from..
Fine array, Blomman , with some friendly envy, as well ! Was also specifically intrigued with your 3, ahem 4 Reversos - Your definitions of " lucky" and " unlucky" are pure euphemism !! Did not know, you as well had the Reverso Duo ! ( like the almost pur...
Hey HS!
Good to hear from you, my friend! :) Thank you! Yes, started to look more into Reverso again... Who knows... Maybe that will be my next "Never ending story"...?! ;) All the best for the weekend to you and R ! Blomman
Very sharp blomman...
Something to enjoy and make each day special...I love it! Best, -- Richard.
Still traveling ...
Dial to match my B777? (Sorry for the lousy phone pic) Tomorrow i post the dial that's waiting for me at home. A wonderful weekend to all, Nilo (I'm going home today) ...
That white dial moonphase Speedy . . .
. . . is perfectly balanced against cobalt blue hands, markers, and indicator. One of the handsomest iterations, imho.
It´s my holiday watch !
... This proves that I don't take enough vacation ;-) Best Patrice
Hard to say...
Blue? Brown? Cream? I still don't know... You see my problem? ;) HAGWE. Nicolas ...
I m willing to help you with your problem my dear friend! May I ...
... Take one or two and reduce your dilemma? Great watches my dear Nicolas! You know one of them keeps haunting me since long time ago! Un abrazo afectuoso! And have a great week end! Abel, desde las lejanas Pampas!
Lol!! Just wished to show you how a nice friend I am relieving you of your dilemma!!
Hace a great week end my dear friend and enjoy your "colors"!! Un fuerte abrazo, Abel.
Can easily relate to your dilemma.. A great lineup.. :)
I guess , many people would like to have your "problem" of choice: Always like the pic with that magnificent world time and the banknotes as a backdrop, smiled of course at the coffeshot, and the ruggedness with the remarkable UN on pic1.. - but also appr...
This is ALL wrong!!! =
Eveyone knows Vlad's favorite colour is Hell at 100 000 Kelvin ;-) Best, -- Richard. ...
Aaargh, the problem is that there are two Blue... ;)
But I have a small idea on which one has taken your heart... Best, my friend. Nicolas
Unbelievable!
I was sure I would find a Salmon in your picture! (By the way, you must let me make you an espresso drink when you return to LA!) Best, CaliforniaJed
I keep this one in stock for the Breguet forum.
I took a cool picture of the Type XX Salmon dial this summer, and will post it later... Best, my friend. Nicolas
Certainly the best shot I took, which gives justice to the real color of this dial.
A very tough dial to take in picture, by the way... Best, Nicolas
Oh my gosh, Joe!
What a watch box!!! That is such a nice collection of watches, not to mention the array of dial colors. I have no chance of deciding on a favorite color. Here are two colors I adore, however: Photo courtesy of WHL, VC Moderator The colors are a bit washed...
Beautiful and i have to say, that type of grey....
........is missing from my collection....and i know it!
"Yet" has the distinction . . .
. . . of being one of the most poignant words in the English language ;-) . . .
Still one of my fav. Habring dials, so classic
Their galvanic blue dial is superb! The two types of surface finishing make for a fabulous dial. Circular grained on the outer chapter and the vertical straight grained in the center. But then I'm rather partial to this watch! Cheers, Tim
Colour dials
Here are a couple that I liked. To me, the colour and the design of the dial must match. Melvin ...
Thanks for the observation, Nicolas. Didn't realise
they happen to contrast each other :) Melvin
White metal & salmon dial for me
Would love to see a Moser Mayu in white metal with salmon dial. HAGWE guys, GEO ...
