Stupid aesthetic question: Shimano Tiagra 4500 and 4600 - same colors?
As indicated in the thread title, I realize this is a stupid question about something that won't matter in any practical capacity, but as someone with an eye for detail, I'm wondering if a Tiagra 4600 front hub would be the same color as the 4500 version. I'm rebuilding the wheels on my Volpe - already had to replace the original rear wheel because the rim was damaged in a crash last year, but I bought a complete wheel. I disassembled the original, and am planning to use the 4500 rear hub that came on the bike. I've ordered matching rims, and I'm trying to decide whether to disassemble the stock front wheel and use that hub, or buy a new 4600 front hub and keep the original wheel around as a backup.

It's bugging the hell out of me that I spelled "Tiagra" incorrectly in the thread title
