- 1 on a colored chain
+1 on a yellow saddle. I don't know why, but i think a yellow saddle would look pretty fresh on there, especially if you change the bar tape to black.

If you actually ride your bike, your chain will eventually be black (at least temporarily). The world is a dirty/dusty place.

Got a blue one on the mtb and if you keep on top of it and wipe down after everyride with a damp cloth, it will stay the desired color.

Pick a color and then look at what's directly opposite of it on the wheel, and that's your complimentary color! i.e., red+green, yellow+purple, blue+orange

For paint-mixing, of course! Although I prefer hue/saturation based wheels with a fade to neutral gray in the middle. I should airbrush a bike...as long as it's not a fixed gear, and as long as it's supposed to look like sh/t.

Coloured chains are to cyclists, what garlic is to vampires. For the love of god, just get a silver one! Please.......

I thought about running a colored chain on my new build, I just went with a SRAM PC-1 and called it a day. Although it doesn't have the wow factor of a colored one, I think I'm gonna be happier overall. Although Spank makes a sweet half link chain in colors called the Tweet Tweet(no yellow though) and the new KMC 710SL looks good too.
