Most of Riv's standard paint schemes are a custom mix, so they don't have a number, and can't really help much in matching. "Butterscotch" was nearly impossible for Riv to replicate across Saluki models. Pea Sage Green, a popular custom color, always comes out a little different depending on the particular mix the painter is using.
But really, any reason to re-paint the whole bike a new color is worth it! Its like having a new bike. Esteban San Diego, Calif.
