I voted for purple, but I would say gray would probably be the easiest choice for MARTA.

I wouldn't mind going to simple letters like the NYC Subway. Doraville could be the D train, North Springs could be the N train, North Springs-Lindbergh is L train, H.E. Holmes is H train, Bankhead is B train. Cumberland line if built could be C train, Clifton Corridor (though not HRT) could be the E train (for Emory).
There still aren't enough lines in MARTA to require the switch to letters or numbers. CTA in Chicago has several colored lines (Red, Blue, Green, Orange, Purple, Yellow, Brown, and Pink, with Pink being the newest). Note that one of the alternate names proposed for the Pink Line was the Silver Line.

A lighter blue color would look good for the Clifton Corridor, if it ever gets built.
