jagr Posted November 6, 2008 Report Share Posted November 6, 2008 Black has been played out on cruisers. Go with a color.I would go with the green, Maybe more gloss with just a little silver flake. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ReconRat Posted November 6, 2008 Report Share Posted November 6, 2008 Seems like green is an "in" color. Maybe neon green? which is a yellow-green. Maybe purple (not violet) and red (not red-orange) accents, which is a split complementary color scheme. Loud without being pukey, but that's the idea. Whatever colors you use, keep them balanced for harmony. Confused now?http://www.tigercolor.com/color-lab/color-theory/color-harmonies.htmthis is a split complementary based on green. For yellow-green (neon) it would shift one notch counter-clockwise. Click the "next" at the bottom of that page for the menu of the whole basic story of color harmony.

tbone Posted November 6, 2008 Author Report Share Posted November 6, 2008 Whatever colors you use, keep them balanced for harmony. LOL harmony....that is what I need!!It was purple when I first got it..What i'm really thinking is OSU type bikelight grey(maybe even gun metal) with the red/white/black (maybe loaded with silver flake) stripe (hell might even just do it all in flats)but the other color i was thinking is green with heavy gold flake and ......ghost flame Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shadyone Posted November 6, 2008 Report Share Posted November 6, 2008 for a gold flake i think a darker green wouls look better than the john deere green you have pictured.. thinkin like a a British racing green Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xtremef4i Posted November 6, 2008 Report Share Posted November 6, 2008 You dont want you bike looking like a bass boat with real heavy flake. I say so with a Candy color of some sort Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cattmouch33 Posted November 6, 2008 Report Share Posted November 6, 2008 I like the green personally, but I am kinda biased. Maybe a darker green. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jeremygsxr Posted November 6, 2008 Report Share Posted November 6, 2008 You don't have it listed as a choice, but I always favor blue. Now, considering it is a Yamaha you could use that to tie it in. I painted an old cbr600, 99 Honda civic si blue. It was a nice color. I powder coated everything a bright white, but a lot of colors would have went well with the blue.

I think the Blue on the new Honda Accords is a bad ass color! The Civic si blue is cool too and is a good chioce.Have you considered a burt orange color? That might look good on a chopper Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
