The blue is for those who like to follow the herd, the red looks fantastic in good light (ie, decent showroom or bright sunshine) looks pants otherwise. The black is the best looking, but rapidly becoming very, very common.
I would choose the black, have a look in the photos section at e.d's new bike, I think most people would agree that it looks georgeous.

I went for the blue in respect that they fetch the highest (slightly) resale values. With hindsight I didn't do any research to the credibility of this. Does the colour affect the resale at all?

Colour does effect the resale value. I know somebody who took their SV in to trade it in for another bike and was told "oh good a blue one, that'll shift quick" one the local dealers near me had two yellow ones in stock and they didnt shift for ages. I've got a yellow one before you start

M.C. which colour do YOU like best, coz thats the one you should get, follow your heart
