Lots I can think of:

Captain Lucky, Absinthe (some pink blush throughout the tomato, at least in my climate), Orlov Yellow (vibrant orange when sliced), Work Release Paste (interesting shapes), 1884 Purple (purple w/apple green shoulders), BTD Red, BTD Pink, Golden Cherokee, Terhune (beautiful lg pink), Top Sirloin (beautiful lg red), Potiron Ecarlate (huge, ruffled shoulders), Big Cheef

That's easy, Chocolates Stripes with Copia taking a close second.

My Chocolate Stripes always seem to look almost polished, which makes the metallic green striping really striking. Here is a picture from my blog from a few years ago.

Edit to those that would steal this photo to sell their tomatoes. Don't. I will find you and mock you at forums across the land.

I have been known to do that...lol. I probably won't grow Copia again. It took too long in my garden to give me fruit and when it finally did, there were not very many. What there was, was however tasty so I don't have any regrets.
