You can paint your bike any color you want, as long as its BLACK.

Whats your favotite color, go with that, make it two tone and make it your own, personally I like dark blue.

Have to agree with Pumba. Don't like brown. I love the Black and Orange, Neighbor has it on his RG. I love that paint scheme.

The Chrome Yellow and Cobalt Blue that was on the 2003 SE Deuce is a nice combo.

I also like the big flake paint jobs on some of the newer bikes. It is old school but sweet. I don't like floral or pastels but think the metalics are always great

I like the purple paint, it's kinda like the totally white bike, not a lot around. If I was going to paint mine, I would go with a green I see a Toyota car( I think that is what it is)painted around here, kinda of a seamist green or possible a peach. Any of the standard colors, there are so many and the black and orange. Alien green with contrasting pinstripes would be cool too.

Maybe a deeper color of purple?
Something perhaps that could work with what you already have.. but be more of what you could live with?

Yeah, I agree about the purple. I can't stand purple bikes, but to each their own. Lots are saying the same thing about my root beer color, but its not purple. I went to Sturgis, and only saw 1 root beer bike the whole week. Ask me how many black bikes I saw. If your gonna paint over the purple, go to a custom bike show and get ideas. I do love that candy cranberry tho!

I think this will be the inspiration when I paint mine. Pictures do it no justice.
