When I ordered in 2010 it was available in orange(and perhaps another color I didn't like). But they offerred a $40. repaint in several colors they had on hand including Atlantis Green. So that's how I received the frame. It has a few blemishes but I'm still quite happy with it. Enjoy yours either way!
