I like silver or black. Matches with everything and makes other colors stand out. I think decals and logos should be outlawed though.

Co Montion's site might have some ideas as well.

I like this one...but I would do the fork black as well, and skip the pink entirely.

If you have a paint gun and a air brush gun you can do just about any paint you want to do.But I would use auto paint it goes on very easy and drys rock hard.Just do a search on bicycle paint job's.

Flat black is the most practical.
I like the look of the Kona Kapu though, seriously thinking about picking one up....

Co-motion has an especially nice paint gallery on their website; I used it to pick paint for a bike last year. Great photos of all their standard treatments plus a bunch of custom jobs (panels, two-tone fades, etc.)

I have seen a good number of Co-Mo tandems over the years and a few singles. What I have yet to see is a bad looking one.

if i were to repaint my bike, i would have it fade from orange to black, front to back, and have them add in the model and company name in pearl white... but thats just me.

Kona's on a bit of a roll these days, in my opinion. A lot of their bikes just look fantastic. Of course I'm heavily biased with my powder-blue, white-paneled Sutra.
