Hello friends — I've noticed that over the past few years Rivendell have been using some of the same paint colors on many frames through several production runs. If there's been a discussion of this practice, I've missed it.
I can't quite put my finger on it but something about the same paint appearing on frames over and over leaves me scratching my head. Perhaps there's a missed opportunity to pin a color to a model or to cycle in new colors with new batches of frames? What do other members think? Do you appreciate the same colors appearing on different frames? Do you wish there was a wider variety of colors? Does it matter at all? Some of these colors I like quite a lot, others I appreciate. There isn't one that I dislike. The Lime Olive is always striking when it appears on a new frame, love it on the Hillbornes and Clems. The harvest gold, wow, looks killer on those Susies. Blew my mind on the Homers because they've always been a blue bike. I do miss the mustard from the older Appaloosas and the dark bronze that appeared on some Clems. These two colors paired with some of the newer colors currently in use demonstrate, I think, that Riv has some of the best paint colors in the biz. Really lovely stuff. Here's a far-from-complete list more or less off the top of my head of where current production colors have appeared: *Lime-olive* Platypus Susie Hillborne Clem *Mermaid* Appaloosa Platypus Roadini Gus *Harvest/Dark Gold* Hillborne Homer Susie *Ana Purple* Rosco Plat Appaloosa (next batch in 2023?) Road Uno or Gallop? (I can't remember but thought the purple was slated for one of these frames) *RBW Orange* Appaloosa Roadini Gus *RBW Blue* Too many to list? Appaloosa Clem Hillborne -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "RBW Owners Bunch" group.
