New bike, recommend color scheme

hi all, long story short I need to get a new mountain bike, I’m thinking of building it up starting with a white frame from ebay

I’m not sure what colour scheme im going to go with for the anodized parts (and maybe respraying part of the frame)

what do you all think would look cool?

I like blue anodized parts on white frames, the freestyler comes to mind.

White pairs well with “Petrolium - Rainbow” parts or Metallic Purple. Maybe metallic purple and gold details.

I usually go with a classics silver with light blue accents for a bike.

You gotta check out onedrop’s new anodizer. @ashleyanodizes on instagram I believe. Seems like their full time gig is bike parts. Some serious heat over there.

Saturday Market. But seriously, color is such a personal thing, you do you. I am mildly curious to see what others share, though.

For mtn. bikes in particular, I always liked this shade of orange. It stands out nicely even when covered in dirt.

My main riding partner is my son, here are our “motorcycle bikes”

I went with a red part themed as the bike is chrome with yellow lettering and had small red details stock

His is black and blue

That 90ies GT Avalanche is sweet :heart_eyes:

Another vote for metallic purple. I think the best looking color scheme out of the bikes I’ve owned was a light gray frame with a few anodized purple accent parts (I think it was just the chain ring, crank arms, stem, and brake levers that were purple).

Check out Squid Bikes and look at their spray bike gallery for inspiration. You can order the paint direct from Squid.

My daughter it’s all pink, my son has a black and orange bike and mines gray and white. Eventually I’ll mess with making the accents blue but for now it’s fine as it is.
