I'm 100% for the brown look. I really like earth tone bikes but for some reason people don't go for them often. Gray, drab green, brown. Try something new!

Red is cool. Avoid the green, that's definitely a Kawi green.

What the HE77? I'm glad to hear that it's photoshop.
As for the GS, either Red or Blue will pass for a factory looking colour for that bike.....and rule the poo color out before you even start :laughing:

I like the blue. It matches the recycling cans in the background. :laughing:

I didn't even notice that until a friend I showed it to asked me if that's where I sampled the color (the original pic is the green one, and I just adjusted the hue and saturation until I got the other colors).

The main reason I want to paint it is visibility. A black bike (and I was a dork and bought a black jacket) doesn't show up quite as well as other colors.

I'm also contemplating painting the wheels...but I haven't decided yet...gonna have to mess around in photoshop a little bit more. 8)

my color scheme is pretty dark. but i didn't remove the reflectors on my bike plus my jacket and tail bag both have reflective strips.

so just get black but make sure you get jackets w/ reflective strips. i think you can get the strips separately.
