Yeah that not bad at all I imagined something worse. Maybe the photo isn't a true representation of the color. I don't see anything to be embarrassed about from that frame. If you decide to get ride of the color you should get some contact paper and make a fake wood or bamboo bike out of it. I have a frame I plan to do that with some day because I already did a terrible spray paint job on it. Side note I know a guy that plans to build a bamboo bike. I hope he gets around to it soon I want to see it.
