My Predictions

What color will the new first lady wear to the next US Presidential Inauguration?

Current forecast: Other (34% chance)
Combining all predictions, the current most likely outcome is Other with a probability of 34% (unchanged in last 1 day)

Most likely, you're guessing on what the main color Michelle Obama or Cindy McCain would wear. Although, I suppose a lot could happen in the 20-some weeks before the elections.

For the record, I'd like to suspend this when the polls close on election day November 4th to add an extra element of suspense. After all, not knowing who is going to the Inauguration is half the fun.
Now the rules as best I can define them:
"Main" color is the predominate color of whatever the new First Lady is wearing. Should she wear what appears to be equal parts of two colors, this should be settled as "Other". Also, if the color is unidentifyable in our modern color wheel, this should be settled as "Other". If the First Lady does not attend the Inauguration or does not wear anything, this should be settled as "Other". If the current President is unable to finish his current term and the current VP or someone else is inaugurated in a mid term Inauguration, that also counts.

regarding the possibility of .... "or does not wear anything" ... then I'm betting that the new President will be wearing a red face.

Wow. That was thorough. I love how you even thought of the possibility of a midterm innauguration (not to mention the nudist innauguration). Hats off to you. Red was not my lucky color for the Clinton concession. Maybe I'll go with blue this time.

Hey swilson, thanks for betting on my daily baseball question. I do have a question for you. What if the Lady wears a white blouse and a black skirt? What would the outcome be? That applies to any other color combo as well. Would any two-tone combo be considered as "Other"? Answer this comment and I will bet on your question. Thanks for taking your time to ask the question.
