Many breeds would probably work well for you. In particular, though, I recommend Wyandottes, Australorps, Plymouth Rocks, Easter Eggers (or Ameraucanas), Orpingtons, and Sex-links. All of those breeds tend to be beautiful, docile birds that are hardy and lay plenty of colored eggs. Most of them lay brown eggs, but the Easter Eggers/Ameraucanas would fill your basket with pretty blue, green, or pink eggs.
