All of the Italian road bikes that the local bike shop sold in the 1960s came with fenders; the shop routinely threw the fenders out, unfortunately. Here's someone's picture of a Legnano whose fenders survived:

In all honesty, my thought when clickingthis thread was "Why would you want them colour matched to the frame - tyres are mostly black and so should the fenders be".
But truth be told, it looks great on several on the bikes above.

A Condorino restoration on a Legnano similar to the one posted by Trakhak. What a sweet bike! Seatpost binder under the top tube?! Not my favorite color, but still really nice.
Keep ‘em coming folks! I really like that deep candy green modern one! There’s someone on here with the matchy going on with a red bike which I’m hoping for a few pics of to show up in here.

As a side note, fortunately the tab broke while I was nearly stationary. I was getting ready to head home from the store, heard a "clunk," and after wondering how my wheel could have come loose, noticed the broken fork. I had just liberated a frame from another project, so during the walk home I thought about my plan, and it took me no more than about 1/2 hour to transfer all of the parts from one Schwinn frame to another. The new frame is also a better size for me, and in much better cosmetic condition.
