Hi all,
Im having a bike resprayed by Orange and am unsure of what colour to choose having options from their colour list. Show me your Orange bikes, whats the best colour??
I'm a big fan of Norlando Grey with blue stickers...
But the Wasabi Green, Charcoal Grey and the gold colour all look very nice IRL too.
Assuming all other bits are black, and the colour is still available it’s Mountain Mint (bike no longer with me).
Currently Norlando grey which i do like, Wasabi green looks tempting as does Charcoal Grey or Cosmic white...descisions..
Depends if you're partial to a bit of anodising or a plain black guy. (preference not race)😃
Raw with clear coat. This is my old 2012 one, it'd look amazing on one of the new ones.

Cyan with black graphics
Do it right.
Charcoal with black graphics has a nice stealthy vibe
Colmans mustard
Black, with orange bits.

Grey goes with colourful/anodised components otherwise I'd go for cyan blue, decals depend on if you're running Fox orange suspension or Maxxis tyres to coordinate with orange or yellow decals.
All components are black and only Black decals available from orange, that Charcoal one is nice..
It was neon orange, but since they don’t offer that anymore I’d say any colour so long as it is actually a colour and not just a shade of grey.
Kermit green, like an unripe orange.
Do they still do that funky shiny purple, that was great. or neon pink!
I second Mountain Mint, as per my Clockwork. Really nice in real life and a great gloss finish.
I’m obviously a bit biased having just got one but my choice would be sandy playa. It’s a lot nicer in the flesh than in pictures too. Failing that the mat charcoal is nice too.
The other new colours smoke white and sparks blue look lovely in pictures too.
Flashy, I think you've uploaded the wrong picture.
You should have posted this colour scheme as the best.

I went for red on charcoal grey for my four. Been thinking about a respray as it’s looking a bit tatty after 3 years
Mustard Yellow was the gold colour I mentioned, looks great in the metal.
If you can only have black stickers, I'd go for a more vivid colour like that or cyan blue.
This thread is absolutely pointless, all of the bikes posted look great so it’s not helping anybody...
OP, you need to see if they’ll do the diesel/oil slick blue they did in the early 2000’s because that was great, like a blue with a goldy/yellowy pearl to it, beautiful colour.
I think its fairly safe to assume its NOT mountain mint.
The correct answer used to be neon or atomic orange but they're not available now.
When I recently got my atomic orange Segment replaced I went for matte charcoal grey with orange/black decals. Works for me, looks lovely.
Matte wasabi was also considered and looks great but I thought it might date quickly. Norlando was always a favourite but it's been done to death and feels a bit 2018 now.

Best orange colour and best looking orange bike...
Not got a pic just now, but mine is Ron Burgundy, and it's simply awesome 🙂

I agree with this TBH, still think mine's the best but would go with something different if I had to choose now.
Not sure how to load pics.
I have sterling silver on the five.
And Ron Burgundy on the p7.
I prefer the silver finish.
Best orange colour and best looking orange bike…
(personal opinion/) Now I now Orange FS bikes tend to have 'challenging' looks to many, but Bird bikes are hardly lookers! (/personal opinion)

Agreed...each to their own...
Surpised to see a Bird owner spam another thread that's got absolutely nothing to do with Bird. I think you lot have probably nudged past Cotic fans in that challenge.

ha ha, although i think Cotic are a bit too up market. They are more like the original On One Inbred fanbois from yesteryear.
I've had an Orange orange but this is my favourite, probably not everyone's though!

I always liked Candy Apple Green and Candy Apple Red
Cyan blue with orange & mud, Yes.
Silver Hope, NAHH.
Mine is Disco Black, with Red decals that I had made (and applied) myself eight years ago before Orange did them. The black with metallic flecks is great but must be helicopter tape protected otherwise it ends up as Matt black!!
My five is tropical blue with the yellow graphics. Stands out lovely. Yellow pedals finish it off a treat 🙂
nice combo that, could probably stand some yellow Deathgrips as well.
Yeah, tropical blue was lovely.
Wish I could find an image of my old 2009 Orange Five in Clockwork colours.
Shouldn't really be surprised, the op asked for orange bikes so I provided another shade of orange...I don't post much about Bird but if others are then I'll accept being tarred with the same brush.

I nearly bought a Clockwork ( I think) just because if this colour. It looked awesome.
It is.
I'll stick a pic up when I get hame.
Unfortunately, mine was battleship grey.
Fizzy Orange 🍊
cotic orange
This tread is not helping with so many nice bikes. Sandy playa looks ace but the colours available are, Cosmic white, Cyan blue, Fizzy Orange, Wasabi Green, Norlando Grey or Charcoal Grey. Bikes a Clockwork Evo. Im quite tempted by Cosmic White...
This Crush looks nice...
If it's only black stickers available, I'd def go for cyan blue from that list.
I know they're big on white at the moment, but I'm not a fan of white bikes (or cars).
Brads - if you wanna post an Insta pic, you only have to put the URL of the post in and the forum does the rest.
Yay
cotic orange
Bingo.
Although Bird bloke has been back for another nibble so they're still in the lead.
If I can work out how to do pictures I'll post up my matte Charcoal Stage 5.
