Geez, is every older Rivendell in the universe some shade of blue? Where's the caramel ones?

Many were, it was a popular color because it showed off the lugs. This particular one is green, better check the color setting on your monitor if it looks blue. ;-)

My wife wanted one in "burnt pear" when that was a color option.

My '95 is that color, Sherwood Forest Green, but without the
contrasting head tube. There was also a Coleman green on the menu,
which was non-metallic.

The color I thought was interesting was "golden olive pearl".

Here's one that isn't a "shade of blue" :

This is my 1996 Rivendell Road Standard, it was painted a custom color
(at extra cost) to my specification and included pinstriping. The
standard colors available at the time included blue, green and orange
(I think it's a fair statement that these colors have always been part
of the Rivendell/Grant Petersen color palette) . I believe that red
may also have been a standard color option.

Nope, that ain't blue. Sure is pretty. So is the green one, btw, in spite of the fact that it sure looked blue on my phone..

Spectacular looking bike. Do you ride it? Didn't see dirt scratches grease ... Dang.. I clean my bike and it's dirty compared to that. J/king.

Really sweet

I ride it quite regularly, it's even gone through a couple of
accidents that left the rider much more "damaged"! The bike is stored
indoors, it's wiped off after every ride and I live in Tucson, so it
doesn't get grimy from mud after riding in the rain. (I also just
don't like riding in the rain and avoid it whenever we so rarely get
rain in this arid drought stricken region!).
