My Genesis Croix de Fer

I disliked the colour of each equally, I'd rather black, or grey, for this kind of bike, but yeah the blue is growing on me.

I can tell you the blue will grow on you as it's a nice inoffensive shade.

If you're not too keen on the modulation of the brakes, ask the mechanic at your LBS to bleed it a bit more (usually involved leaving the brake pads in).
