Question What colour peacock quill to buy??

Hi I am about to embark into the wonderful world of quill tying into my flies. I am about to order but wandered what people thoughts were on the best colours to buy?
Available are natural,brown,olive,red and yellow?

If i am honest most of the flies tied will be buzzers but i would like to have it also for other options.
What do you tyers think?

Check out Lucian, you won't find better quality ready-stripped quills IMHO.
