Why not? Because it's pink?

Last year I commissioned a custom ti frame. Color on a bike is important to me, and I don't like the look of too much bare ti. I decided to go with a Cerakote ceramic finish instead of paint. The issue with Cerakote is that the colored coatings are a matte finish, which I am not fond of. However, if you custom mix a color with their gloss white you get a pearl finish which looks great. I had the guy who would be doing the application create some test tubes of both pink and green. Pink was my first choice, but it came out looking too much like bubble gum, so I went with the green mix, which we are calling sea foam green. I think it looks great.
