Colors Anyone?
« on: August 13, 2005, 04:42:15 AM »
Hi,

is there somewhere i can get visual reference of the colors that Honda CB's came out with during their production run? I am trying to decide on a color but can't seem to find any pictures of the actual colors besides owner's pictures, and all those look different under different lighting conditions.

Thanks to all

decide on a color in what sense?  which original bike to find and buy, or which color to attempt to re-create?

can of worms either way -- this could be fun.  the variables involved in either scenario could take you on a quixotic adventure.  depending how picky you are....

example:  imho, a candy garnet brown tank in decent condition is gorgeous (which, incidentally, i never would have guessed until i saw one in real life).  find a sun-baked one, and it's candy garnet/puke green/brown.  try to recreate one, and you'd better have the right recipe and cook (painter), and conditions,  etc., because it's not as simple as picking the right code out of a book.  although Turd Brown is a hot color for this fall, I hear.....

they all look good in black........:)

Well,
the answer is which color to attempt to re-create? I know there's about a dozen different colors at least and i would like to see them all first, decide which ones i like and then attempt to recreate my favorite, or even better, find someone who's already found the formula for the color and share it with me.

Anyone?
