White pearl with a blue glitter finish fade would look awesome.

(Royal) blue is probably my favourite colour to twin with white. Raw would be my second choice..

Problem is that's not royal blue, it's electric blue!

EDIT: First pic. Second appears to me some pastel monstrosity. 😀

Not sure of the RAL code, but Paul at Cotic advised me to get [b]Tamiya X15 Actylic paint[/b] for touch up.

Do you know I absolutely love all of you! You talk a lot of 5hit, have some lovely bikes AND make me laugh ALOT!!!!!£ but really?..... What a bunch of girls!! White goes with anything! Pick a colour....a coulour you like. Then put it with your very very expensive white forks (that go with any old colour btw!) simples!....
Please don't ask me about current affairs- I haven't got a scooby! 😳 😕

White goes with most strong colours, so, pick a colour that [i]doesn't[/i] go with black, it'll be less common.

PS British Racing Green. [i]Obviously. [/i]

Was going to say orange but the blue bits wouldn't go so well...

My Wolf Ridge is bright, metallic sunburst ORANGE! and I've matched it with blue hope hubs, clamp and headset. It actually works...after a fashion (or not).

Going back to the OP, any relatively subdued hue of blue, green or red will do...but that raw Commencal looks absolutely ace.

I agree with Daveyboywonder

What a stupid question.

EVERY colour goes with White, same with Black. Why do you think those are the two most common colours by a mile that forks come in?

Persona... If you thinks it's a stupid question why bother answering??

It's not just the forks. I also have lots of blue hope stuff I can't afford to change.

Lots if people customize their own bikes by having them painted! It's what makes them different!

Thanks for your helpful input..
