Annodising - What was the BEST colour??

[BoyBurning]

Red, black, gold.

Not necessarily in that order, and depends on the build.

I never liked purple BITD, but for some reason have ended up kitting out the Attitude with NOS Ringle 3DV stuff everywhere and it looks pretty good.

Mind you, that's with a bright red frame/forks, and I think the two colours compliment each other well - any other colour and I'm not sure how well it works...

The colour for me that most shouts early 90's is Purple, which i love, but Ringle blue just gets my vote. I love all types of anodising and you can't hang too much on any 90's retro build imho

Is Ringle blue Turquoise?? or is that just grafton blue :? . . . or did grafton do blue and Turquoise :? until this is answerd i'll wait before using my 1 precious vote.

Blue is the darker blue or what you would expect to be called Blue.

Turquoise is the light/pale blue

I agree with Perry, a touch of gold can liven up just about any colour bike. Wouldn't have it as a frame colour though!
3DV is ace but can look nasty dependant upon application and overall bike colour scheme.

How about the anno brown Hope showed its seatposts off in recently :?

OOO ,i suddenly prefer brown to everything else,though when its shiny it does make it look more bronze than brown
