So I'm buying a Kona Rove LTD frameset in metallic green and I would like to add some colourful blings here and there but I'm struggling with the color scheme.
Would like to get some suggestions from you guys on which color for the headset, bb, seatclamp, bartape etc. would you pick?

Orange accents!
red pedals?
I would go for a little bit of gold. Seatpost clamp, steerer spacers, all the accessory bolts in the frame, presta valve caps. Leave the bar tape black EDIT: but handlebar end caps also gold! Headset and bottom bracket is possible ass well but costly.
Too much is no good. Maybe once you wear out these tires consider new ones with tanned sidewalls. In my opinion that would make it KILLER looking.
But you know, tastes are different… So maybe just do YOU.
Green and pink, think watermelon 🙂
nice kona!
It needs mud and dust 😉
Orange handlebar tape.
One easy way to brighten it up a medium amount would be brown saddle and bar tape with tan wall tyres.
If you want it to pop a bit more than brown, purple or red would also work with that frame colour.
I’m a designer, so I’m nerdy about colour, but you can learn more here if you like: https://www.colormatters.com/color-and-design/basic-color-theory
Edit: also fuck-loads of anodised bits of purple bling out there to be had. Valve stems, the bolts on the fork, headset and spacers. Even the chainrings and disc breaks if you want to go spendy.
