Help pick a frame color...
Moderator: Moderator Team
Hey guys,
Im building (framebuilding) an aluminum CX frame with a carbon fork and I need help picking the frame color. If this is the wrong place for this, then let me know and I will take it down.
I will be using carbon seatpost with polished aluminum stem and bars, polished Cannondale SI crank with black chainrings and a polished rear derailleur.
What color would go best with the polished componentry?
Here is the frame design. Long and low.
Cheers,
Matt
Here is my other aluminum frame I just finished.... but not the complete build.

That's really cool! Color theory principles would suggest that a polished silver and black schema would go well with cool blues, and greens, with red and orange as a sparingly used accent color, perhaps for the bar tape. Personally, I'd go for a shade of cyan. Here are some links to a few online color palette generators that I use to create color schemes in my design work.
