OK, aesthetes what do you reckon. If the frame is Orange (the colour rather than the maker) should the forks be black or white? Pictures to back up your argument will be worth extra points. Although, in this case, points mean bugger all.
White.
Black
Based on those pictures, I think it looks best if the colour of the forks matches the colour of the decals on the frame, which could be white or black for an orange frame. Still, I guess we haven't seen any pictures of black forks on an orange frame with white decals yet. So it's too early to say for sure.
Orange goes with white, Green goes with black.
What is that stevenk4563
Everyone's entitled to their opinions of course, but there is only one correct answer to this question, and that is [i]irrefutably[/i] black.
Got to be black...but then I always buy black because white might not look right on my next frame...change far too often!
depends on frame decal colour, would look best if fork matched either frame stickers, or bars/stem/post as the secondary colour.
On a Rocket it HAS to be white
My Filing cabinet has silver/grey forks which match stickers and rims, previously had black forks which matched other components (really needs Ti shock spring to match now!). White would have looked a mess.
I always thought that white had no place on a mountain bike. MTBs are for getting muddy. But that Santa Cruz looks right to me.

You pays yer money and you takes yer choice...
White is far better
Depends on the orange... If it's a nice burnt Datsun orange, then white. If it's a really vivid OJ orange then black. Contrasts innit.
