My one may end up yellow yet.

If only because I have a yellow car and a yellow bicycle already.

I don't really want to be seen, but I do like the ease of finding them in b&w car parks.

The bottom pic of the Evo is Ford Signal Yellow from 1980's Capri/Escort etc. You can still get this in cellulose so spraying it yourself doesn't require an oven or breathing apparatus.

I prefer the more "solid" yellow to the earlier lighter shade.

I was thinking of RAL1003 Signal Yellow in particular as it's what Brompton use for their Bumblebee Yellow. It's pretty close to the Ford shade.



The Honda is Helio Yellow Pearl Y66P.
