There are so many fun colors! I've seen the "rainbow" in which every color is used, and it looked pretty awesome. Clear works if you don't want that much of a metal look, and there's always the pearlescent colored braces. Hope this helps!

I'll assume you mean the color of the elastics that go around the brackets, not the actual brackets themselves (you can get metallic brackets or clear ceramic brackets, though the latter don't tend to hold up as well and are more expensive). As for the elastics, you should go for whatever colors you feel like having! I'd recommend sticking with one color at a time or at least making it symmetrical. I once chose red and white for Valentine's Day and had one of each color on my two front teeth--and it looked like I had food stuck in my teeth all the time. It would have been better if my middle teeth had the same color and then it alternated back from there. Good luck choosing something you like! Luckily, elastics get changed frequently (every 4-6 weeks), so if you don't like the colors you chose, you'll always get another choice soon enough!
Also, you can play with this site to see what multiple colors would look like: http://www.bracesonline.com/elastics.html

Look up in google or yahoo:
Braces Color Chooser or
Ligature Color chooser for braces
These site have cool example on all th color possibilities that most orthodontist provide...
my favorite is http://pbhs.com/ortho/braces/braces.html because it doesn't have an orthodontist suppporting it...

Get a different color each month. Whatever color you get, make sure you can coordinate your wardrobe with it. Colors are fun, just don't get yellow or gold. That colors makes your teeth look buttery.

What about the same colour as your eyes? Well I was thinking if you had blue eyes, I suspose brown would not look so good as it would like you had something stuck in your teeth - not a good look.
