POLL: What Color is Your Monster?

[TiNi]

Ducati had a black metallic from the early 90s. It was first seen on SS models, and used a fairly coarse metallic.

Later they changed the metallic size to fine and it was offered on Monsters. My 96 was black metallic when built. It almost looked grey in some light.

The metallics in 99 were a flake over different base colors and are an entirely different effect.

so... do i need to add another option?: METALLIC

Mine is a 1999 and is not part of the "metallic" offering.  I'm just going from what DP said Ducati called my paint color.  Any other insight?

Issabella is black and most definatly metallic. The dealer that sold it to the man i bought it from said it was going to be a very rare color. Blah blah blah I just liked it and never seen another one. maybe i should stop riding it so that i don't damage it. (not likely)

Also there were two yellows used.  The yellow on the regular monsters, SS and SBKs is different from the one on the S2R, which was called "Acid Yellow".  It is brighter than the others.  Faster too.

Perhaps there should be "Black" vs. "Flat black (dark)" as that is a different colour code.

There were multiple metallic colours too, I've seen a metallic purple Monster.

I really like the badge. Did you order that from Austrailia? Thats the only place I've seen those for sale online but they were black and I couldnt get a measurement from those guys as to how big they were. Looks great on the bare tank like that.

Could you please post another pic. That angle is a bit limited I'd love to get a view from another angle.

Looks like the Matrix Green, but turns purple depending on the light.  I'm guessing it didn't come off the line like that.
