Help me choose a custom color for my Bianchi
I ordered a Bianchi Oltre XR4 in Celeste Gloss on Friday. Just this morning I found out about custom color configuration for my bike. So I went on Bianchi site and did some color combos. Let me know what you think.
My preferences are as follow.
E- I always loved the Gulf color Porsche 917 (think Steve McQueen in Le Mans)
C- Hot pink
D- Stock Celeste
K- Awesome yellow
Too many nice colors available.

D or C.
If you could get C (hot pink frame) with celeste graphics, that'd be cool; or D (celeste frame) with hot pink graphics, that'd be really cool.

Unless I stumbled across an LBS closeout at an aggressive price, I don't think that I'd go for anything other than Celeste (as the primary or the secondary in the case of a primarily black bike).

It's a Bianchi, it has to be D, celeste!
At least that's the color I always wanted when I was considering a Bianchi years ago. So I'm biased.

Get D.
Most lower end Bianchi's that I've seen in the last several years are not primarily celeste. They do that for a reason, everybody wants celeste and have to upgrade to get it.

Celeste and orange then. Bianchi's are meant to be Celeste. If your a true Bianchi fan at some point you'll regret anything other.

Hey, im not the one rolling eyes and calling an iconic color common just because it happens to also be on a hybrid.
Your response seemed, to me, like you are searching for a color that lets everyone know your bike is relatively rare and expensive and not just a common hybrid.

For resale purposes go with Steve McQueen.
For an ageless fashion statement proving men can flaunt hot pink, go for hot pink.
Yellow if you want to fly under the radar and blend in.
The Celeste is blah and I'll never speak to you if you buy it.
