Lets see those Green bikes

[Mzilliox]

I want to paint a bike some shade of green. Looking for some inspiration. rock lobster green is lovey but too light, and British racing green is stunning, but too dark.
Heres a couple to start: (not my bikes)

I've seen the MAP on top in person and the green is even more lovely than the picture captures.

Here's my BMC Monstercross right after I had built it up:



The shade changes a bit depending on lighting:

2002 Concours. I've never known whether this is Cha-Ching Green or the other green that was available that year. Very close to 1950s Oliver colors except for the metallic.

I love Principias. I have never seen a green one before. Is that a REX?

You have a bicycle in every letter of the alphabet, and in every color, it seems.

That's a gorgeous color. Do you have a RAL, etc. number?

Always liked legnano's shade of green.



It looks like one of those magical color changing shades that looks different depending on the light.

Sadly, no. The paint was done by Allan Wanta

Put a ton of miles on this one for the last couple of years... just passed it on to another forum member.

What's wrong with dark?


Bought this here on the forum and initially I wasn't too keene of the olive paint but it really grew on me and now I really dig it.
