Default Big Blue Pearl
When picking up my bike today after getting some things done to it, they had two Big Blue Pearl bikes sitting there, and I couldn't take my eyes of them. That paint really jumped out at me in the ok lit service department. It has to be absolutely ridiculous outside on a nice sunny day.

I guess BBP is THIS years Sedona Orange. It's OK, but it wouldn't be my first choice if I was buying new. Not really a fan of blues & greens on bikes. Prolly go for Ember Red/Merlot combo.

Love that color - unfortunately it clashes with my finances, so I have to keep my black pearl SG (which was my favorite color until they came out with the BBP).

I got one but unless it's in good light it pretty much looks black. YMMV

I love mine.....and I kinda like tha fact it looks black at times....really a surprise when you come out of the shadows into the bright light.....I have had people at stop lights in cages tell me how that is the nicest color they have ever seen on a bike....had a guy at the gas station asked how much I had to pay for the custom paint

I am on the fence with this one. I like it but also screams bell bottoms to me with all the flake that pops out in the sun!
