Punctuation of a that clause

The most concise:

I think making the ticket all one solid colour is a good idea.

How we may say it:

a. I think that’s a good idea, making the ticket all one solid colour.

b. I think that’s a good idea--making the ticket all one solid colour

c. I think that’s a good idea: making the ticket all one solid colour

d. I think that’s a good idea, i.e. making the ticket all one solid colour

How would you punctuate it?

Thanks
