Wow - that Bishop is just stunning!
Here is another one of mine - I have more blue bikes than I realized, and I'm not even going into the French ones. 1978 Raleigh 753 Team Pro:

So many great bikes in this thread.
I still love my Hollands. So versatile and nice performance from EL-OS!

Hmmmm.... Lets see now...
'75 Fuji S-10S is metallic royal blue,
'84 Univega Viva Sport is light frost blue
'86 Miyata 710 is steel blue
Sears women's 3-speed is blue
The only one purchased new and I had a choice of colors was the Fuji, the rest were bought used. I had a choice of the blue Fuji at 20% off due to a scratch on the toptube and it had been sitting in the shop for over a year (late 74-built '75 model, bought in October '76), or paying full price for a white one the LBS had in stock.
The others were bought used, and like buying a used car, you generally don't have much of a color choice when buying used.
I'd post pics of the Fuji and Miyata, but they would be the same pics that I've posted before. I haven't gotten around to taking pics of the rest of my bikes... Someday...

Blue is a favorite color of mine but only one bike in the fleet in this color. My Tommy boy:
