I love old bikes. I love to paint old bikes. I love 2 tone bikes(blue and silver, red and tan,black and silver, green and tan , etc.) People seem to really like the bikes I rehab and paint.
Black is definitely the easiest color to touch up.
Candy, pearl, metal flake is impossible to touch up.
My daughter has about a thousand different colors of nail varnish. Sometimes I can get a fairly close match to a solid color frame.
Maybe it's a gang thing. At the high school I sub at everyone wears grey hoodies and grey everything else. wear colors and you might get shot. I wonder what the gang colors are for bikes?

What about gold, then?
I have to admit the early 70s Lambert/Viscount bikes were controversial at least, but their gold-plated model was stunning.
