Default Swim Platform Color Suggestions

I've got my platform off and really want to change it from white? What do you guys think I was thinking silver to match the logo and the shadows of the dots or maybe purple. Suggestions I'm open?

I think Silver might really look good with the Oval....

How about the dark purple from the front? It might look kind of cool to pick that color back up aft.

X2, or carrying the pink and white graphic pattern from the hatch and transom thru the platform. Don't know how it would look though. I do think the dark purple would look good.

I think the purple would be awesome. It will really carry well from the sides/top and transom.

I think I'm starting to lean towards the purple the more I look at it. I had thought about running the graphic through but I really don't want to add anymore pink "magenta" lol if I can get away with it. Been trying to eliminate as much of that as I can.

You need to check out the Illusion Poweder Coats by Dupont.
You can get samples if you call and ask.
I live in Houston and I went to their facility and got some samples.
They sparkle and change colors in the sunlight. I had mine done from Extreme whom made the swim platform. I think they charged me $300 more for the Illusion powdercoat. It's a base Black with a Dark Maroon/purple sparkle. Depending on the angle in the sun light, you can see Green, otherwise, maroon. The only bad part about that is that I don't have any Green on my boat. There is also a powder coat that is Black with Silver Sparkles in the Sun, and it does not change color.

Thanks Frank - That was actually back when Todd still owned it, but nothing has changed....
