I want it to be magical in a sense, and I think I want the area where my bio is to be readable, so, maybe one color there.
I will not be using it in the publications, at least I had not thought about it, maybe I could, but that is not the main purpose. I am looking for a frame specifically for the reason that I think it is the first thing a person sees, when he/she visits my account. First impressions and all :)
That is why it is so hard to find a cover image, it has to be big resolution thing not to be grainy.
