Pearl orange looks awesome in person. I have gotten lots of compliments for the color. In my opinion it is the best solid color offered by IF. It took me quit a while to decide on color and I changed my mind several times. The final choices were the pearl orange, quetzal green and the metallic blue color. I wanted something unique and the pearl orange is that and more. I waited 4 months for my frame, shortage of ti. If you want the orange tape I used Salsa brand, their tape made specifically for cross applications. The color matches very well I think.
