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. ![1000022432](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex015/uploads/yoyoexpert1/original/4X/9/c/1/9c10316e7437aaa58896d1ca15e9ae5aafc18564.jpeg) ---

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

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. ![Screenshot_20250311_124010_Firefox](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex015/uploads/yoyoexpert1/original/4X/3/4/1/341637e9dff66aa877a43f6f1c4667799b408ea7.jpeg) ---

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). ---
