Title: The best colour combo for a loopy ripper
Post by: jT Racing on April 19, 2013, 11:23 PM
Gonna change my ripper. Not sure what colour to do. I like the plain colours, blues browns white etc.
What's the nicest ripper you've seen. (pics appreciated)
It's black now with chrome lg's and blue decals.

I always liked Dordy's black and gold, I do love baby blu ones though. :smitten:

Every colour combo looks ace on a Ripper and pretty much all colour combo's have been done over and over. Tan and Blue decals is a cool combo, burnished always looks great with any colour parts combo... I have no idea what my fave colour combo is tbh  ???

They're all bloody nice John  :-\

Ideally you need about 5 or 6  Rippers or re paint it every 6 months on a rota  :LolLolLolLol:

Black and gold

Baby blue  and navy

White and black

Ball burnished and blue or black

Candy red and gold or silver

Dark blue  and baby

Tan and brown

Orange and chrome

and on  and on  :smitten:

For me, it has to be black, white, or candy red. And gold parts where possible.

I'm liking the white with blue forks. That is sweet
I like the red on the frame but it never seems to translate to a nice build.
That white baby blue combo reminds me of a factory rider build. Memory is failing so I have no idea who it was.

i wouldnt be able to decide,

Either Burnished with Blue Ano parts, or Black with Gold Ano parts, maybe candy red or blue with gold ano also

although when i had a Mike Buff Replica White, Baby Blue L Gears, with all red and Black Tuffs, that looked cool also.

You dont see many Ano with Red parts about, maybe that would work with a little black on the forks or bars.

they look cool whatever.

Black and gold for me. Dordy's one was awesome, loved it so much it inspired me to do mine black and gold.

Black and gold certainly is a beautiful colour way, i have a couple although neither are Rippers.  Isn't the frame colour already black though so perhaps that colour way isn't much of a departure from what JT already has?

Cream with baby blue forks would make a lovely build.  :smitten:

If you're stuck for colours there is an online tool to help you pick complimentary, compound, analogous etc versions of your base colour or in this case the frame colour.

I've used this or versions of it (originally paper based) throughout my career and it really has been a life saver

https://kuler.adobe.com

Once you're in you can browse themes, which are colour sets saved by users, or more likely create your own...

To start your own theme click "Create" on the left hand side.  Next on the colour picker drag the central circle to a colour which you think would make a nice frame colour.  Now start clicking through the rules to the left and see what comes up!  At the very least its fun and it should help stimulate some ideas if not for your build but for the downstairs toilet!

 :LolLolLolLol: how you know i'm after building a bog in the cellar. just need to get a saniflo(w) thing and do a bit of plumbing.

i'm thinking blue/brown brown/brown white/either blue/brown  i also thought about blue yellow like the tuff burner colour scheme. got most of the parts and a tasty plate to go on them colours. it's going to be my rider, so it needs to look tidy.

I thought about a recreation of the worst toilet in Scotland from trainspotting.

I'm gonna break out what parts I've got left and go from there. Don't want to buy too many new parts when I've got loads of spares knocking around.
