Bikes: 1940s Fothergill, 1959 Allegro Special, 1963? Claud Butler Olympic Sprint, Lambert 'Clubman', 1974 Fuji "the Ace", 1976 Holdsworth 650b conversion rando bike, 1983 Trek 720 tourer, 1984 Counterpoint Opus II, 1993 Basso Gap, 2010 Downtube 8h, and...

+i for Bluemels, but they're so hard to find and pretty fragile to boot. Leave them for some nut who are trying to go period-correct on a 1948 Raleigh Record Ace.

+1 for white, but I doubt you're going to find Cascadias in white. I found a different model Planet Bike fender in white a few years ago, and haven't seen another pair since then. Off-white is good too, should you find it. If that tan counts as off-white, it might be good. I can't tell from the photos.

But wait. You did such a nice job on the frame, couldn't you spray paint a pair of fenders? I know painting plastics is an iffy business, but I'd research which kind of fenders take paint best, and go with those. Primed and painted.
