White w/ Green?
Starting to throw around ideas for my custom build's paint scheme. One of the top ideas at the moment, but the one I'm having the hardest time really visualizing in my head, is a pearl white with a dark metallic (or pearl or candy) green. I've seen a couple Indy Fabs with similar schemes, but nothing that really matches my mind's eye.
Think:
with (head tube, seat tube panel, downtube logo, and maybe fork blades):
Fearing the green will either be too dark, or too light, or too yellow toned for what my mind thinks will look "good", with very little margin for error.
// yes, on occasion I tend to over think things...

Having a custom frame built as we speak (well, I doubt Bernie is working on it RIGHT NOW) that is going to be the green with white, but only the decals (powder coating the frame). I still love the idea of white panes and fork though. Having a hard time picturing the head tube...
