Some Rickenbacker colors come and go.
Turquoise, Burgundy, Ruby, Azureglo, White, Silver, Walnut, Autumn....Not to mention all the COY's.
What color would you folks like to see Rickenbacker make a permanent addition to the current color choices of...MG, JG, FG, MID?

I agree with Scott on "Ruby." Especially if they can make it in a one-step color (not including clear coats) as they have apparently done with Midnight Blue.

I've always thought that Burgundyglo should be resurrected and made a core RIC finish. A pastel color would be nice, too.

White on White!!!!!!!
I really need a 12 string, and I can't get one until this color becomes available. I'll be the first to place an order, no matter how long it takes to get one. Dealers, feel free to contact me once it comes available!

Another vote for Ruby.

I've always liked the Chris Squire 'nana-puddin'-glo. I'd take a 381 and a C63 12 in that finish.

I think they should introduce Infrared, or Ultraviolet. Really, any company who offers colors outside of the visible specter as a standard option would be the worlds best in my book.

Yeah, I'd definitely order a 4003 in Infraredglo...
I never understood why Two-Tone/Autumnglo/Walnut/Montezuma Brown types of dark sunburst have come and gone so often, in my mind they should be as standard as Fireglo. They've certainly been around long enough.

I would like to see:
Azureglo
Burgundyglo
Blue Boy
Red or Trans Red (with white trim)
White (with white trim )
SEA GREEN
Green
Turquoise
Silver
Gold (yes, even gold)
Another vote for Ruby, if it could be a one step as PB mentioned, instead of the time consuming process described by Paul W that would make Eric and the rest of the hard working fellows in the paint department at RIC go bonkers in short order.
...I'm not asking a lot, am I?

I'd like to see Ruby and either Montezuma Brown or Autumnglo return to the lineup. A few months ago I would have said that Azureglo should replace Midnight Blue, but I'm liking this new formulation of Midnight Blue...
I understand why they do this, but still... I'd like to have other colors available on the C series models sometimes,even if it was part of a special short run. A 325c58 in Autumglo or Monte Brown would be super sweet, and I would order a mapleglo 325c64 in an instant. (But I'd looove to have a 315 in Mapleglo! I guess that's another topic, though.)
