I'm planning to make a new ebike and frame would be this:

Please help me to choose a color for a new frame. Yeah I know, question is stupid but I will ask it anyway :D

If I cannot find any better color I would take the white frame. But some kind of army green (RAL olive green) or grey (Brown-grey, also NATO-olive) color would be nice too but would it be still too boring? Maybe brighter color like neon green or neon yellow? Any RAL color would be possible. I have already a white front fork but I can paint it if necessary.

Please choose me a color because I can't :lol:

Here is the RAL color list:

One point of view is pick the ugliest color there is, so thieves think they can't sell it.

Also, I just painted one of my bikes British racing car green and Wimbledon white and it looks super duper good. I’d recommend!

Wow, this combination is good, really good. This will be my choice. I'll post images later ;)
 
Words are not colors. Colors are not words. Stop looking at computers. Colors don't look the same on different computers / phones. Go outside and look at paint colors. Go to a bicycle, motorcycle, car, truck, airplane, shop and look at colors.

Looked at http://www.vectorebike.com/bikes/the-vector-light.html Does the frame come painted? If yes? Whatever color it is, is good. If you don't like the color? You will get used to it.

More important question is what type of paint? Metallic? How to apply? How to prepare the surface? I like powder coating. Durable, glossy finish. Less labor, so cost is less.

I have a big old hydraulic jack. Took it all apart. Had all the parts sand blasted. Had the hydraulic cylinder rebuilt. Took the cleaned parts to a powder coater guy. Excited guy with powder stuck to his glasses. Asked the powder coater guy what color he would like my jack to be? He said Soda Pop Red.

I hate Black. I hate White. I like all other colors. How about pumpkin?

Got any old paint? Mix the colors together and make a new color. Having bike painted by a paint / powder coater shop? Use whatever color they are painting something else.

Well yeah, army green or nato brown grey, this brown grey would not be a bad at all... Hmm, maybe I'll choose this :)
