It does put a huge burden on the builder, I think. It's easier if you have to choose from a restricted range of choices, especially if the builder has chosen several that he thinks work particularly well with that type of bike. "Sky is the limit" really doesn't work, as not all colors or schemes work with all types of bikes.
In the case of Rivendells, it seems to me practically all their colors harmonize with and reflect the sort of color schemes you see in photos of where they ride on Diablo, and to me it's part of the Rivendell signature. There are plenty of colors that would look great on a Kirk, Richard Sachs or a Peter Weigle that would just plain look wrong on a Rivendell.
