As long as you pick an achromatic color it will go with anything. That being said, most people do that because its the safe route. If your looking to have the frame pop out a bit more and do something different why not pick a color. It can be really subtle like a dark bronze, or pewter, and still have most colors look good with it. Is the frame you are painting the bobber in your avatar? I think the bronze would really fit the character of a bobber, especially with the bare metal tank. In the end its your bike so do what you like.

I powdercoated mine a very glossy silver, looks like bare metal.
Struggled with the same decision, but in the end, I thought why go to all the trouble, and paint it black.
Take the time to smooth out all the nasty welds, that is definately well worth it.
