What colour should I choose?

Tomorrow  (22nd July) I am getting my braces on and I need to choose a colour for the part that you get to choose a colour for. I am going to post some options that I have thought of.

Any other ideas commented would be appreciated. If any idea is voted for an equal number of times I will have to use wheel decide. 

Please don't judge me for my colour ideas.

There's a part of me I can't get back.  A little girl grew up too fast. All it took was once. I'll never be the same.

    UPDATE:

    I currently have silver as that is what all the patients my orthodontist have get at first but I can earn colours with good oral hygiene. At the next visit I will choose lilac.

    Great colour choice @Kasa2103! Hope you can get your colour soon :) 
    Maybe somethings don't get better, but we do. We get stronger. We learn to live with our situations as messy and ugly as they are. We fix what we can and we adapt to what we can't. Maybe some of us will never fully be okay, but at least we're here. We're still trying. We're doing the best we can. That's worth celebrating too ❤

    Update:

    Sadly the orthodontist ran out of lilac but I got pink instead. At my next appointment they will hopefully have more lilac in stock. If not I will just get blue.

    Pink is a lovely colour!

    Definitely is cool. There are so many colours to choose from but some are massive no no's like yellow, red and dark blue. When I saw what the dark blue looked like I was just like "no way." Purple definitely is good and it does not discolour unlike pink.
