@Ravi Kempaiah Does this frame color fall under the 'hi-viz' bucket? I personally love hi-viz colors and think they provide a lot of utility in the form of safety. But, not everyone likes a bright green or orange frame! If you do decide on a more muted frame color than this, please consider offering a retroreflective kit or some other form for the sake of visibility.

I agree that Black should be offered as a color... preferably Matte!

It's been well established that red is the fasterest color, esp candy apple red!

Bright green/yellow yes. https://www.google.com/search?q=che...Wqm-AKHUOJDHUQ_AUoAXoECBEQAw&biw=1707&bih=818 Pea green no.

I know there are many keen eyes on the EBR forum and thanks guys for the feedback!

We are still experimenting with different colors but it is always good to get feedback from folks here.

As @drewberz and @Duck and Cover mentioned, we wanted to try a Hi-viz color like the Chevy Bolt in that picture, mainly for utility/safety purposes but of course, we will consider a more muted color with a matte finish. The matte finish was our original goal but the painter could not find that particular tone within the time we wanted.
Thanks @FlatSix911, we will have a matt black color as well.

I like the look of Matte Black but Matte has a way of looking really, really bad over time. Oils from objects and your body burn into the paint and leave worn down areas. Scratches are also more visible. Reason Apple decided to drop the finish all together on the iPhone 8 and never bring it back. Many other phone companies followed suit. It's a finish that is very beautiful new but does not stand the test of time.
