EAI Bareknuckle color matching?
Anyone know if there's a way to figure out the color code or anything similar for a couple of the colors available for the Bareknuckle? Specifically the blue and the khaki green. The blue looks pretty much like a typical sky blue but it would be nice to know the exact color. The khaki green is a little trickier. It almost looks like a sea foam green but a little more muted. All the khaki greens that come up when I try searching look much more brown than green. Thanks in advance to anyone who can assist.

UPDATE: They said they don't have color codes for their colors.

As Gomer said...................."Surprise, surprise, surprise."
Take your parts to the local auto parts store that sells body repair supplies and let them stuff the part under their computer. You will get a perfect match. You could go to Wal-Mart, they can also match the color, it's just that you get latex house paint.
If you dont' have the parts yet the solution is still simple.
Wait until they arrive.

I'm getting a frameset powder coated and wanted to know if it's possible to color match EAI's khaki green. Was planning on sea foam green but I like the slightly more muted shade of their khaki green.

If that's the case open up a color wheel program and find a shade of green that you want and give it to the company.

Would that be the green you see on your monitor or the actual shade of a real EAI product.
And, which production run of that particular EAI product would you care to match???
Are you sure that your powder coater calls it "khaki" green????
GM white is "Can Am" if it's on a Corvette and "Polar" if it's on a Caprice, along with almost a dozen different names on different GM makes and models of vehicles..................ALL with the same color code.
Make it as hard as you like, I'd bet it ends up "technically wrong"anyway.
Go to your coater, look at the color chips.
Then pick one.

OP can just head over to scrod's pedalroom and take a picture of his blue bareknuckle and of someone's green bareknuckle; print them out and take to a paint/ powdercoating shop.
