Thanks Sean.

How is this for creative splashes of color? I've taken my monochrome black/grey bike and stripped it:



Top of top tube
head tube spacers
fork ends
inside of fork fork and stays (reflective red)
Wheels (stripes next to valve stem)
seat tube
crank arms
rear of chainstays.


The blue handlebar tape did a lot. Maybe a blue Gravel King for the rear?

Most of the red and blue is 3M reflective tape, so the bike lights up when commuting or on night rides. There is also some pin-striping for some of the delicate work. At least the cockpit isn't all black any more...
