Orange Headset and Seatclamp – what frame colour?

I have an old RoadRat frame in the shed, which I’m planning to rebuild as a commuter/flat bar gravel singlespeed sort of thing, and part of the plan is a spray.bike repaint.

As far as parts go, I have an orange hope headset and seatclamp which will fit, so I need a colour that will suit those. Thinking a baby blue colour right now(Singular Swift style), but interested in suggestions or pictures

I have a gloss blue 2017 cotic bfe with orange hope parts which looks pretty cool in my opinion.

No pics of my actual bike but you can find the colourway here: Bfe

Blue with orange bits is the classic combo, but it looks a bit retro now IMO.

I’d go for black or grey on the frame personally.

Or just sell them and get the colour you really want.

Yeah, have a paler blue in mind (and a few less orange bits) but that looks nice.

I quite like the orange, but they don’t really suit the current black paint, and it does need a repaint. Hoping to avoid spending much money also, so whatever’s in the shed is going on it

That kind of battleship grey that Orange do was one maybe.

For me, it’s coloured bits on an understated frame, or coloured frame with understated bits. Also, if 8 pick a colour for bits, they’re either painted or anodised, but not a mix of both.

My Rocket is the same colour as what honourablegeorge posted and I went with black parts to keep the orange from becoming too much. My vote would go for a grey or maybe a dark blue.

Matt khaki sort of green would look good I reckon.

Or grey/silver, or dark blue.

You’ve been looking in my spray.bike folder, clearly
