Orange matches decals.
Blue matches frame.
The "other" color is usually black for me, lack of imagination I guess.

Funny story, I actually spent a month on a research vessel with the writer, Jim Varnum.

I have got one to do, but haven't started it yet. Butterfly bars in yellow and black. The bike is bright red with yellow graphics, yellow fenders and usually sporting yellow and black ortlieb bags.

i like wrapping random colors in random spots over the bar tape i already have on there, sometimes just leaving a strand hanging... generally keeping it looking pretty ratty
