Favorite colors of 70's Strats

Hi,

What are people's favorite color Strats from the 70's? From my casual browsing, we've got White, Black, 3-color Sunbursts, Natural, Mocha Brown, Wine... any others I missed?

Then the flipside, which do you think are the least attractive?

Well towards the end of the seventies they changed the pickguards and parts to black. I liked the "tobacco sunburst" with black parts. So much so that I bought one ...

But I never liked the white body with black pickguard - didn't work for me.

I think the definitive 70's era stratocaster was the natural alder look.........not a big fan myself but when I see one, I'm thinking heavy 70's era stratocaster!

I think the natural with all black plastic and a maple neck looks pretty sweet...

Got two reissues, Nat and Yellow/White. I was thinking to swap out the pickguard and pup covers to black...
