Color?

[jpw]

Does anyone know the name of the color on the Serotta nearest the camera in this photo?

I'm not sure that is what Serotta would call it

It looks like it might be the Maliblue

You can see colors on their website

Hard to tell from the photo, but it looks like the blue that Assos uses as a contrast color—a blue-green, but more blue than celeste. If that's what it is, it isn't a standard color. You could ask Serotta directly, or you could also try Chad a Above Category—when I visited the shop, he had a bike painted with accents in that color, and he uses it on his water bottles.

If its similar to the color Chad has on his Baum (which it might), its called aqua (by Baum).

That bike looks amazing. I think what jpw needs is a Pantone number or similar way to identify the color to a painter.

The bike belongs to Josh, a Serotta employee. It looks even better in person.
I'm pretty sure it's South Beach Blue which is a standard 2013 Serotta color.

Are the logos on the archtypes on the MeiVici in the back florescent (i.e., to match the paint highlights)? Pretty trick if so.

I noticed that as well. So rad.

Can't see the pic via the Facebook link due to work restrictions but based on some of the responders above, I think Porsche Bebe is closest to celest green that Serotta used. Specialty paint with upcharge.

that's exactly what i was wondering - it looks just like the Assos 'klinik blue' contrast color. i really like it, although on most Assos items the color is tucked away on the inside. this is an exception to that rule;

the color doesn't seem to match any of the colors on Serotta's palette. it must be a special ($$$) color ;-)

on form today.

i might ask Assos if they have that number.

wow, those are some classy looking bikes right there, great picture!

must be tough to keep that blue clean though where its at.

IIRC... Porsche Bebe is more of a mint blue... Not that "creamy"

i probably wouldn't choose to have it on the inside. you're right, it would get dirty very quickly, and scuffed up.

what tire size is on the first bike? it looks VERY FAT.

i don't dislike SHOCK's color choice (far end bike). good for visibility. i like the seat post clamp treatment. they should offer that as an upcharge option.

I'll chime in to clarify; the color is South Beach Blue, as RedRider noted. Color chart here (http://serotta.com/standard-colors/).

Seatpost collar paint-to-match is available with any SE bike, $50 retail. With new bike orders, we offer paint-to-match for other components, as well: stems, bars, seatposts, crank arms.

Just so it's stated, we don't offer component refinishing as a stand alone service. New or like-new components need to go through the paint booth at the same time as the frame.

Thanks.

South Beech Blue? Perhaps it's my computer screen - it looks quite different from the color on that bike.

What components will Serotta paint?

jpw,

It's always best to judge/pick colors with actual samples in hand.
