I like the Whites myself... something about 'em, dunno what it is. Perhaps simply because they are more bestial. Perhaps because they hide in their terrain so well.

My Pick and why
I picked the Blue from Dragonstar since they would have fought for their right to rule against the Red Empire. Since Mezzenbone Assassinated his rival for the throne, I decided the resurrect Lazarius as a Draco-liche for that one purpose since the others would not fight Mezzenbone for the Throne to the Dragonstar Universe.

I like the Whites...but honestly I fudge their intelligence to make them less animalistic. Oh, and sentimentally, it was the first dragon one of my characters ever fought...and come to think of it, the first dragon I ever DMed...probably cause they were by far the weakest in od&d. If I remember correctly.
I just picture them being very elegant looking in a cold harsh climate that they master effortlessly.

I voted red, but it was a toss-up with black for me.

White. Why? I run a Norse campaign and I love saying the words Frost Dragon.

Call me a traditionalist, but it has to be [COLOR=]Red[/COLOR] for me - the fire breathing wyrm!

Of the D&D Chromatics, I'd have to say the Green. I just liked the idea of this huge creature stalking through some primeval forest. But I never liked the good-aligned Metallics, or the Gemstone varieties.
However in my own campaigns, my dragons to date have always been reddish-black, fire-breathing, very, very rare, and of any alignment... what I would call the classic dragon from literature.
In one homebrew, Silverdawn, however, which has colour as its theme, dragons are of the seven rainbow colours, any of which can be of any alignment...
Red = Fire breath
Orange = Acid breath
Yellow = Poison breath
Green = Gas breath
Blue = Cold breath
Indigo = Lightning breath
Violet = Steam breath
Black dragons are actually undead dragons (the colour drains from them when they become undead), and they breathe a magical black Disintegration cloud (the Shadow).
White (or Silver) dragons were the first dragons, and are now extinct (their breath weapon was a form of pure magical energy, the Radiance)... their offspring were the coloured dragons as detailed above.
The idea is working well so far.
