The HiHo silver looks wonderful, and will be a neutral enough palette to absorb plenty of colorful bits. It is nice to see a different color on the Sam. I’ve seen the LimeOlive on the Clem L, and it is dazzling in sunlight. Both color options play well with the cream highlight paint, and you can hardly go wrong with either. Looks like only the 57 in LimeOlive has sold out at this point. HiHo……!
