Blue. Always have and always will*
*I have been known to drink Green if Blue isn't an option, though.

Same for me. I voted for semi-skimmed.
Freefaller, I would have expected you to drink a hell o' a lot of milk given the amount of weights you lift?!
I drink green, simply because I drink 3 - 4 pints a day, including my porridge, eggs etc so drinking 2% would result in a ridiculious amount of saturated fat.

If and when I'm trying to pack on a bit of size, I do, but it's also very carb rich so keep away from too much of it - but often would get through a pint a day of whole milk, there are better ways of getting better calories in. However, if it were proper milk I probably would drink far more of it as it's flipping gorgeous!

Our fully skimmed milk cap is Blue here in the Midlands & yet the colours for bottle tops show Red on your list & the official UK one 
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Milk_bottle_top
The old colour scheme in the UK was silver for full-fat, red for semi-skimmed, and blue for skimmed. This scheme had been around for decades, and there may be people reading this who either remember it, or who have come across it in their reading. Milk came in pint bottles with a coloured foil bottle-cap on bottle. People would order their Milk in this way: "a pint of silver top, and two red tops." Kids would flatten the foil bottle tops out to play with. Only one colour still survives from the old British scheme surveys as it was: Gold Top Jersey & Guernsey Milk.

Semi-skimmed 
haha we seem to have similar dairy tastes, I often just have a few spoonfuls if there is cream in the fridge. It's difficult to drink though as it's a bit "claggy" if that's a word i.e. it sticks to your tongue and roof of your mouthIs it wrong that I actually like cream by itself?
