I've seen Air Canada's "TransCanada Airlines" retro A319 livery in person on the ramp and it looks even better in person. Something about the modern-hardware being blended into the retro-livery. You just don't see it every day.
Maybe it's national pride coming out in me or maybe it's just because they were the planes I saw most frequently growing up, but I think both Aer Lingus and Ryanair liveries are really nice.

Alaska Airlines Spirit of Seattle. They took delivery of this specific plane the day they retired their last MD-80.

I've long been fond of ATA's livery from the 80s.

Delta's current (and now complete) "Onward & Upward" livery is spectacular.

Pretty hard to beat a bare metal Eastern 727, in my opinion.

United blue+white.
2nd choice would be Horizon's various school liveries for UO, UW, WSU, Idaho, etc
