Jersey colour advice please

Im being a bit vain but hey ho, Ive got some Madison Addict shorts in Fern Green

and currently only my gray jersey goes with it. What colour would you suggest that matches?

My others are red/black, black/red, red, black/orange.

To be fair, they are great shorts though.

If you're new please join in and if you have questions pop them below and the forum regulars will answer as best we can.

The colour wheel would suggest a red or fuschia, but as a SWM, I think it’d take a guide from the Wimbledon tennis colours and team it with a purple. Not too fluoro, though. Happy to help.

I think the orange/black could be good, the right orange to work with that green could be difficult, but you WILL be seen.

I didn't realise being a 'roadie' meant you were colourblind, my bad, I'm glad I ride road and off road then.

It was a reference to the perceived tribalism between various 'types' of cyclists, nothing to do with being colourblind.

If you're concerned about your appearance perhaps it's time to work on a sense of colour co-ordination. Or ask a female relative or a LGBTQ friend to help you out.  3

As a straight male roadie with conservative aesthetic tastes I'd opt for neutrals - black or white, though a totally contrasting colour may work e.g the black/orange. Or find a jersey with some of the same green in it.

They're mountain bike shorts... How can us roadies offer advice?
