Well, unless it's something rare or limited (or a genuinely interesting build), I guess it suggests an OTP bike and little imagination. This is probably why you never see bikes like Treks or Giants in the porn thread (you watch, archival rare Giant & Trek coming to a porn thread near you).
I don't mind the S-Works thing (because, let's face it, Specialized have happily re-badged a standard frameset as S-Works before now), but if you're gonna bother doing it custom then I think plain white is a missed opportunity. Even the Rapha Continental builds had more flair than that, and those were aimed at the sort of guy that thinks wearing bright underwear under his Gieves & Hawkes is a bit rakish.
You don't have to go the whole Garret Chow, but please...
