If I were getting a custom QB but with original cream decals I’d probably have
just as hard a time choosing. Having kinda lusted for a 68cmQB (or custom
equivalent) I’ve pondered this before and here are a few in no particular order:
I’ve really liked the Hunqapillar-Pea-green or “Jay’s Green”
The Japanese color palette is just lovely. Highly recommend. Check out some
Ebisu bikes for examples of how it looks on a bike.

I strongly suggest you go with a cool green. A splash of metallic would be a
bonus.
I also would discourage you from a contrasting cream head tube; just my
personal bias but factors in significant upgrade cost usually $100+. My
suggestion would be to consider pinstripe outlining
Hunqapillar..yep, that was an inspiration! (My story left out a couple steps
cuz it wasn't pertinent to helping you on this thread). It was originally a
color Joe Bell did for Mark Abele which later got on the first-gen Hunqs..I've
always loved that bike. Then I saw the lighter version of those
Thanks for chiming in y’all. I’m enjoying imagining all of your suggestions.
I’m strongly leaning green without a cream head tube at this point.
Joe, thanks for sharing your paint selection process. I absolutely love how
your custom came out! It reminds me of one of the old Bombadil color
"I quite liked the run of blue Hillbornes that missed the cream bits."
There was a green "mistake" run like this around 2010-11, too..it reminded me
of an early Porsche 911 color. I thought that solid no-cream green looked
amazing.

I can get mesmerized by certain colours. As a child and spending time with my
dad in Paris, I used to see small Fiats in pastel torquoise and still love that
colour today. Pink has always been uninteresting to me and I actively abhor
purple hues.
Greens and blues, metallic or flat, would be on
as
well.

isaac, how exciting! the pink is so excellent, and a purple would be
outstanding, especially if it were desaturated slightly to be a kind of purple
grey.
however, when it comes down to it you want a forever color, and it is perhaps
undisputed that the sparkly green will forever be
I say the green; accent with cream panels if you must, but green is a noble
color and is well known to make you happier.

Hey Bunch,
The bottom bracket shell replacement on my Quickbeam is going well and it will
be headed to wet paint at Black Magic Paint next week. I could use some advice.
For a while I had planned on going with a version of Mark’s custom pink. Next I
was convinced that it should be a PurpleRiv
