Re: [RBW] Frame color!

[Robert Tilley]

I love my sage green Riv but the 2nd choice for me was the color Riv used to call their "standard" color. It was that metallic light blue/silver. I always thought that looked good. Not sure if that could be done with powder though. I really like the blue/grey color on bikes and it has been on a few autos lately. Like the Subaru color they call "cool gray khaki". That one looks really good in person and I think it would look great on a bike frame. I agree yellow is a bad choice for bikes. I own two due to either no other color option or it being the lesser of two evils. Yellow bikes really show any dirt or grease on the frame.

Chauncey just texted me saying that the powder coater is out of the near-match to the "sage green" that Joe Bell used for my 2003 custom -- frame later modified by Chauncey with the color in the photo below. I've asked him to see if the coater can order more, but while I wait on tenterhooks (is that metaphor appropriately applied? Weren't tenterhooks used for processing wool?), I ask y'all: what color would you choose for a new road frame to be built with color matched racks, silver VO fenders, and silver components? -- oh, and I like red accents: bar tape and panniers. Orange won't do b/c I like red, red won't do b/c I don't like red frames; no black or white -- bleh! I have Ford Blue already -- beautiful! -- and Forest Green. No turquoise or pink. Yellow, blech.  Should be a color that is readily available in touch up quantities. Tell me what you think so that I can complain about your suggestion.
