Well obviously, something thats not shiny and reflective such as white or,....any bright colours. I'd go black or a nice grey all over. Black face, grey frame. Sounds stocko, but it'd look clean

like a sea blue, they use that for indoor as it is easy on the eyes and fine outside

Yeah, i dont mind that idea either :D Aslong as it's a mat finish and not a shiny gloss, cause bein a steel face it would reflect more than painted wood would.

If there's a possibility that you will be riding late in the day, as in sunset, then go for a lighter colour rather than black or dark grey all over, because you won't be able to see the ramp very well. Our old ramp had checkerplate surface unpainted, and it was too dark to even see a lot of the time. We used Black with white stripes up the outside edges on the Aussie Comp, so you can see where the edge of the ramp is easier in darker conditions. And I've had no problems with daytime glare either as there isn't enough white to cause it. And the frame is silver on ours.

my ramp is painted white and ive never had any trouble with glare, black ramps annoy me cause its a colour that doesnt stand out very well unless its a well lit area, just go with a plain colour that isnt too dark, ive jumped a ramp that had a skull and cross bones painted on it, the last thing i looked at before taking off lol.
