Slightly depends on whether the lacquer has a colour to it (like the old Giant Cadex frames or early specialized epics, but if it's raw then gun metal grey gets a second vote, or purple, always 'or purple' whatever the question

+1 also a fan of red but gold is a bit gash on carbon IMO

Thanks. It's not actually for a bike. I was going to go with red but I have a new orange colour I can use so not sure how.

It is something I've made, carbon tube with anodised end caps, a ceramic bearing (white) and a titanium shaft through the bearing.

Whatever it is you're making I'd like three please!

There are specialist forums dedicated to that sort of 'invention' No need to pedal that here please

This is it, should be obvious what it is. The end caps around the bearings need to be anodised, that's what I'm trying to decide a colour for.
Picture of various colours in the other picture. I'm thinking red or orange currently.
