Ideally I'd say Mossy Oak camo as the back, Black front, and Blaze Orange accents, but I doubt camo patterns will be available in Moto Maker...plus it might be hard to find the phone if you drop it in a wooded location haha.

Even more than all the color options, I'm excited about taking customization further. I'd get the clear case, and experiment to find the perfect medium for doodling on the inside of it. Dry erase marker would probably come off too easily, but vis-a-vis has potential. It needs to be bold and not easily smudged, but easily erasable.
Front: Black
Back: that gentle beige-y pink - it's different and stands out, but light and innocuous enough to ensure my drawing is most noticeable.
Accent: Blue
Engraving: none
Greeting: Te amo (cheesy but whatever. I can at least pretend my gadgets return my affections.)
Case: Clear
Wallpaper: Astronomy Photo of the Day (duh)
I want to show you my mockup of what the phone would look like with one of my doodles on it, but I'm too new to post images, OR give you a link so here's my jank-up workaround of it:
imgur .com/eCspU4x
Paste and delete the space before .com. Sorry for the bother.

Here's what I would do:
Front - White
Back - White (or possible a slightly darker shade of white for contrast)
Accent - Gold
Engraving - Never give up
Greeting - Explore the unknown
Wallpaper - stock
Storage - 32 GB (since they decided to take away sd card option)
The phone would match my sunglasses that I bought in memory of my past girlfriend. The Engraving is a message to myself and the whole world to never give up no matter what life throws your way. The greeting is a message to get out there and go where you haven't, to take the path less traveled, to explore your dreams. My design may be simple, but it is inspiring to myself.

Engraving: Deserving
Load Greeting: Superb Case of Villainy
Wallpaper: Microbes live wallpaper
I chose a red back plate as I think the color stands out quite a bit, black accents because it looks great on red and a white front because i have always had a phone with a black front.
Deserving is my preferred engraving as it has been my handle for quite awhile.
Load Greeting.. Long story but it is my favorite dialogue from a good show.
The wallpaper was something I could get myself however I have always had fun with it regardless of the battery drain.

Man, this is tough....especially without seeing a rendering.
But I have to go silver and black. Its just so clean and classy. No car looks better than black with chrome accents. Its the same reason I liked the Raiders when I was little.... how could you not think silver and black was cool? Yeah, maybe its not wild and original but this is my dream, go have your own!

Engraving: A4L (Android for life obviously)
Wallpaper: None (all black)
Greeting: Hey now!
Throw in a pair of the headphones in "cement" cause why not Cement!
No case please!
No, strike that. Better idea. Way back when, before I was married, my wife had this shiny blue flip phone that she loved. I think it was this Samsung.
Anyway, she was on Sprint and I made her switch to my plan on Verizon and get a new phone. To this day she still talks about her blue phone I took away from her. So....
Back: Royal Blue
Front: White
Accents: Metallic Silver
Storage: 32gb (since you're paying!)
Engraving: My Pretty Blue Phone
Wallpaper: (some tropical island shot)
Greeting: Hello Beautiful!
Throw in a matching pair of headphones in "royal blue".
She gets a new phone, I get brownie points and redemption for taking her old blue phone, plus, then I can take her old phone and sell it and my phone and get whatever the latest and greatest phone is this winter!

Newbie
Front: Black (an all black front on a phone just looks fantastic.)
Back: Yellow (banana stand.)
Accent: Black (I want brown but I don't think that's an option.)
Engraving: MR. MANAGER
Boot screen: There's always money in the banana stand.
Storage: 32Gb
Wallpaper:

Perfect.
Edit: I noticed a character limit on the boot screen of 20 characters. I'd pick "NO TOUCHING!" as my boot screen phrase.

Theme: The motto X reminds me of another great X, the Jordan X. This is supposed to be Motorola's comeback phone so why not base the design on the Jordan X, MJ's shoe when he made his famous comeback to the NBA. And while many people think the Moto X fell short... so did Jordan when he returned wearing the #45. He did manage to follow that up with 3 more back to back championships and let's hope Moto can do the same!

Engraving: "I'm Back"
Greeting: "It ain't to play games with you, it's to AIM at you"
(Jay-Z's lyrics referencing Jordan's comeback. Reflects a bit of Motorola's attitude towards all the other phone companies out there too!)

I would make it android green with dark blue accents to match phandroid. That and load it with some awesome wallpapers and it would be about perfect.
