I agree. Cobra doesn't get near enough credit for these options they give consumers.

It doesn’t bother me. When I’m standing over the ball I do prefer matte finish over glossy finish but the overall colors on the club don’t bother me. When it comes to irons and wedges, I also prefer a frosted or matte finish. I’ve played a few rounds where the sun hits the chrome and nearly blinds me
I am not saying I cannot or have not moved past it. But, It is the first thing you see. Its the cover of the book. I know its silly but it still matters. The color and design of the bottom of the club sets the tone, and can either make a really good driver feel classy and worth the coin drop, or it can make it seem cheaper than intended..

I agree with you completely. Its funny how visual tech matters so much in terms of metal woods and then many players go to irons and it has to be the exact opposite.

Color and finish have a huge impact on my choices. I would say it’s more related to drivers/woods than irons but if an iron has a lot of color and busy cavity I won’t even consider them
I think color makes a difference IF you can see it, and IF there are other similar or comparable options. Don't much care what the color is on the bottom of the club as long as I don't have to have the headcover and bag to match 
Also, if you are hitting 2 drivers and they are very similar in their results then you take the one that is more aesthetically pleasing. If the one has very noticeable and better results even though I may not totally like the color I'll still get the one with better results.

Based on forum feedback, I think its visual tech and colors.

I disagree, but only because they offered terrible color choices IMO. It blows my mind that brands don’t offer something more neutral and then have custom options for those that want wild colors.
Colors matter to me a lot. I can’t stand to look at neon colors on golf clubs. Some color can look good. Some that come to mind are Srixon with mostly black heads with a touch of red. Or the TM SIM line with blue accents. But the neon orange, green, and yellow offerings coming out of Cobra and Callaway are too over the top for me.
The upcoming pea coat offering from Cobra would be so much better if the colors were on the bottom only with a black crown. The blue crown is going to be as polarizing as the gold/orange on the other option.

it's there. It's not the deciding factor, but when I look at some clubhead with colors that don't jive with me, that club isn't going to be one of the first brought into the hitting area.

If the shape is right but the color is wrong......im out. If the shape is wrong but the color is right, ill still give it a few swings to see.
Color plays a massive role in aesthetics and thus whether i like the look of it behind the ball or not.

Really for me on the top of the driver/FW that is about it.
I couldn't care less what the bottom of the club looks like

Colors are weird to me. Sometimes I like bold colors (see my Nike Covert and Vapor Fly comment above) and other times I very much dislike how they are done. Like the yellow in Cobra Speedzone or the orange of the Callaway Mavrik. Those two just didn't mesh with me. I have nothing against yellow or orange. I thought the yellow of the F9 was fantastic but couldn't get behind the SZ. Then the orange of the Mavrik...Well I think I had more complaints about the headcover than I did the actual driver color

I would say color does not play a huge role in my decision making process. I prefer a matte finish, but the color can really be quite a few options. I’ve played black, white, and blue drivers. After the initial hit with the club, I don’t usually think about the color.
None at all. I would rock pink clubs with purple polka dots if that is what works.
Nope! If it works and I can afford it…who cares!

But would you pick them up to find out if they worked?

I think color is a factor in what I think about a club, but it’s not a decisive factor in choosing if I would play the club…
