My understanding (perhaps from an old Blug post) is that Riv developed the cream Longboards to in conjunction with SKS to match their head tubes. I have a set, and already had a set of hammered Honjos that also fit my Sam. They both look nice, but I ended up fitting (with some tinkering/shortening) a set of PDW dark gray "Full Metal Fenders" in 700 x 45mm to match my Nitto dark gray M194 bars and Jagwire titanium gray housing (all on a blue and cream Sam). I think black anodized, hammered VOs would look awesome on orange or black Rivs, but maybe not as sweet on Blue Sams. Green Sams need silver fenders, imo. In the end, I think I've decided that cream Longboards are just too much of a good thing, but it's admittedly a personal preference.
