I need to get some bike frame parts spec'd colour wise (new Brompton order and full-suss part respray) and am trying to come up with cool 3-way colour schemes (one of which needs to involve black!)

While I'm not a huge flag-fan, I do like the German flag colours, and the rastafari colours it is close to:

:mrgreen:

I also like the 70s STP colours:

Any other suggestions?

Where is this German flag that you speak of? 😉

If you look very, very, very carefully, and for a very, very, very long time, I think there maybe one in one of those pictures.

I'll just check again to make sure.

OP: my Sanderson, white, gold & black.

Or my Kona, snot green, red & black.

The only cloud to stand out on the Sanderson is the red!

The red is bright in that photo. The photo doesn't show the gold very well. In the flesh it's the gopping gold that's overpowering.

I am looking 3 blocks of different colours rather than "accents", stylish though they may be.

STP? It's Gulf. The clue is in the big sticker on the side! 😉

STP are red/white/blue iirc.

Loving would be easy if your colors were like my dreams, red gold and green, red gold and green.

Well I've gone for rasta in the end - well ordered a yellow superlight Brompton, I'll spray the ends green and red to deter thieves.

Oranbe/light blue would have been if for all-steel (which I might still change to for cost reasons).
