Help decide Rossin repaint color
My Rossin has a wild, one of a kind paint scheme and it's grown on me, but it's time to change. I will be sending it to Airglow. I was thinking about pearl white, with the same orange decals and of course keep all the chrome. Basically just like it is now except for the change in paint. Already got a quote for it. But I was also thinking about some kind of medium metallic blue maybe. Any suggestions? As it is now:

I'm partial to purple - about the same shade as on the Lakers' uniforms.

I can't do yellow. My bike looks yellow in the pics, but it's actually lime green. Purple might be interesting. I got the stand at REI.

Color preferences are simply a matter of taste. What color combinations do you like? If you want some good ideas for how various classic bikes look in different colors, check out the Current Classics link at www.cyclofiend.com. Lots of nice photos of classic bikes posted there.
My personal preference is for simple color schemes -- eg., one color with contrasting decals. I would get tired real quickly of most fades and wild schemes.
