[RBW] Re: Paint codes for Lime-Olive, Mustard Clem, XO-1 burnt orange?

[Max S]

Thanks, everyone. Will try to figure out the "(sub)lime olive" code, but 
failing that may go for Pantone 132 C or a darker burnt orange...

 Folks, 

 I will be sending a Riv mixte frame to be repainted and am hoping to do 
 it in a lime-olive color-way, as the kids say, of the Platypus. Failing 
 that, we'd go for a slightly darker version of the Mustard in early Clems, 
 or a burnt pumpkin orange of the XO-1. 

 Does anyone know if there's a RAL paintcode for that that I could 
 supply to the painter?

Max,
There are a few current model cars on the road with paint very close to the 
lime olive, or “sublime olive” as I like to call it. 
I was behind a Hyundai Venue the other day with a really nice green and 
there are a couple other brands with similar shades. 

I recall reading something from Rivendell that said paint codes from Taiwan 
did not match paint codes in the U.S. and exact matches might not be 
possible. 

Getting the paint code from a car model is pretty straight forward. 

Good luck 

Ray

That bike of Devlin's is a beauty...and not just the color. I understand he 
built the frame himself. VERY classy! I'd love to see that color in the 
wild ; computer monitors don't do colors like that justice
