1. Cobalt blue - I already have an ice-blue Bleriot, so I need something that isn't too close ;-) 2. Pewter - darker rather than lighter 3. Rawland red - already perfect.
Finally, the important stuff! First choice: Orange. If you copy the orange from a Bridgestone XO-1, I'll buy two. Second choice would be either brown or clear coat (like some of the original Sogns) Third choice Pink ( a nice dusty rose, not hot pink)
Please not Red. That's my biggest gripe with my current Sogn.
@Michael S--that's more of a metallic silver. You are correct that Pewter is darker. But it does have a range, from warmer to cooler, from more nickely-silver to more coppery undertones. I do think bare titanium looks pretty close to a pewter mug.
Maybe Sean will post a color sample tomorrow to give a rough idea, though computer screens are difficult when it comes to color consistencies...
..but I'm splittin' hairs. Custom paint option would be cool. I'm still thinking about RCP or chrome...but pewter would be just fine. Kinda like my lost '77 Raleigh Competition.

Could someone link to some pewter bike somewhere so I can visualize this color.
rawland red
A red-pewter fade - bring back the 80's.
1. red
2. pewter
Ha ha late-80s fade. No, please, no. I wouldn't be able to find my old day-glow yellow bar tape with little black skulls.
1. Pewter
2. Red
3. Blue (dark and deeply saturated, not gray blue, and no periwinkle!)
ice/light blue.
So is pewter a dark gray, medium gray, or light gray?
@John Grasty -- here is an old Trek in pewter:

DS, who had a Trek 720 in pewter that was "mehh" in his opinion as a color.
I thought that pewter is a silvery grey
Pewter! That would be classy.
Second choice would be blue, either quite dark or pretty light, but not boring medium in value.
1. Pewter
2. An ice blue
3. Red
Here is a pewter frame:

Pewter can be on the silvery side or on the coppery side. Think of it as the poor man's titanium.

The pewter will go with all three Hetre colors. And black or silver components will be distinctive. I like it! But I already voted for
Pewter.

1. Dark blue (RAL 5010)

2. Pewter - darker rather than lighter
3. Rawland red - already perfect.
After finally learning what pewter is, I have made my choice:
1. Rawland Red or Blue (dark or light–not Velo-Orange Mixte Medium Blue) whichever one is winning against pewter which seems to be winning.
In case anybody is wondering, here is my unofficial tally. (Half votes are when people had ties or other variations)
Pewter:
1st place: 12.5
2nd place: 4
Blue:
1st place: 5
2nd place: 7
Red:
1st place: 6.5
2nd place: 2
Finally, the important stuff!
First choice: Orange. If you copy the orange from a Bridgestone XO-1, I'll buy two.
Second choice would be either brown or clear coat (like some of the original Sogns)
Third choice Pink ( a nice dusty rose, not hot pink)

Or...how about a Rapha style black with pink details ;-)
1. Blue RAL 5005
2. Pewter
3. Red
rawland red and the fork are what made me notice these bikes in the first place. so hot.
I assume the Pewter is darker than this? http://www.flickr.com/photos/gersema/4701264803/in/photostream/
oh... and ignore those Red votes.. they cn buy a used Sogn.

Dark Blue, definitely dark blue!
I must say though, the Rawland Red on my cSogn has really grown on me. I like how the rSogn is coming together, very tempted.
pewter, a darker blue, or even a dark purplish blue (?!)
Make mine Pewter!
Second choice: ice (light) blue metallic
Third: Rawland red
