New Rock Lobster coming this winter. What color should it be and why?

Curious and, as yet, undecided,
Pat

Plain simple red, because I like red. Plain red is easy to touch up when you get rock chips. It makes a great color to then use the bright yellow backed Rock Lobster name on the down tube.

it depends on what you already have and what kind of frame. I have a white road and a yellow cross. I like red for road and I think the seafoam green is pretty cool for a cross or mountain bike.

If its a road bike blue, if its a mountain bike green. Don't know why but all the bikes that I end up keeping for a long time follow that color rule.

Blue...now we're talking. I like the team color but agree that it reminds me of Bianchi and it goes better with cyclocross. This will be a steel road bike with (mostly) silver alloy parts.

Here is my blue bomber with chorus alloy 10 group. Every road bike I have ever owned with the exception of 1 (and I hated that one) has been blue. I don't know why but I love a blue road bike.

This looks somehow sinister- those two hapless hikers are about to get mowed down like inferior pedestrian vermin.


PS How about something a little different? Dark, brick red in matte, not gloss color. You know- rock lobster color, yellow logos. Would look cool covered with dust and dirt-and chips and patina would blend in to look even better down the road after some abuse.
