Which Color for my Bike Frame?
Tony of IRO says he can paint my frame any color from this link: https://www.roofvents.com/colors.html
I like red but which one? And then somebody posts pics of their new orange Angus and that looks cool, too.
Maybe the Flame Red, or the Carmine Red; definitely something BRIGHT. My Road Bike is this Orbea:

So my Jamie Roy has got to have a good paint color. The stock white or silver just isn't going to work.

i dig on luminous orange, but that's probably the exact color they just did of the custom angus'
black red is also kind of sweet, but you are going for bright... so... maybe traffic yellow?
also: wtf is with "**** YELLOW"

The luminous bright red looks pretty good; the **** yellow looks better on the flowers pic than the rectangle swatch. Traffic Red is good, too. I've Googled around for more RAL charts and the differences in the colors between the various websites are substantial. I may write down these colors and head to the paint store to see if they have these color charts.
