Because of availability i had to buy this amazing bike in this not so amazing color.
Personally i am not a fan of this "spaceship green", but really wanted the bike without waiting months, so i thought i can at least do what i can to pimp it up a bit(without having to spend a ton of extra cash).
What would you do?
I'm thinking dark tan/brown walled wheels is the first step. I guess the bar tape in military camo style could be cool, or dark brown perhaps.
Any other ideas?

Brown bar tape? Skinwall or brown wall tires? Logo stickers in titanium gloss?
Shame you were not able to get a customized version 🙁
Anything from Garbaruk. Maybe some hope calipers and rotors. Anodized purple bits.
orange accents, it’s an Orbea, so go with classic Euskatel / Iskerri orange bits.
Design some snazzy decals?
Initially I was going to recommend tan-wall tyres but I don’t think they’d do much in that colour and rim depth combo as they wouldn’t really stand out.
remove decals, get tires without decals and punch some color accents in
It already looks badass
Nice ride. I tarted up a previous gravel bike with Hope RX4+ calipers and rotors. You can change the bore caps on them too. You could get a 1x chain guide?
+1 to installing tires with a tan or brown sidewall. It’s hard to tell the exact shade from the picture, but take it to your local bike shop and hold the tires up next to the bike to see which combo looks good to you.
