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?

this 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.

LOL harmony....that is what I need!!

It was purple when I first got it..

What i'm really thinking is OSU type bike

light 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

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
