My votes:

Green when ripe is Green Giant, but if I had a write-in - Malachite Box (Malakhitovaya Shkatulka) is by far the best tasting green when ripe tomato I have grown.

Darks, Cherokee Purple.

Pinks, I'm going to choose Stump of the World because it is a parent of Rebel Yell. Rebel Yell is now a must-grow in my garden. http://tatianastomatobase.com/wiki/Rebel_Yell

Orange, I don't know? I can suggest a lot of orange cherry tomatoes though.

[KarenO]

All my own of course are the best
Some other favourites are these

Black: Margaret Curtain
Pink: Bear claw
Red: Mayo's delight
Bicolor: Dagma's perfection
GWR : captain Lucky

I have lots of fav's. These are some of my favourite full size tomatoes that I recommend for flavour and that did well in a northern garden

I only have one favorite red tomato that I keep liking every time I grow it.
Neves Azorean Red beefsteak.
If you haven't grown this tomato you should give it a try.
For the bi color it is Orange Russian 117 yes it is a bi color heart.

Both of these tomatoes go equally well on a cheese burger made with fresh home ground chuck cooked medium rare or a good BLT with flabby bacon and real mayonnaise.

That is about all I have to offer.

I grew NAR for two years and it didn't do very well for me but the weather was terrible. I need to give it another shot.

I grew it twice, once before, did terrible, and this year, fantastic. This year most did fantastically well. NAR in a good year is great.
