I liked the lurid green and was tempted by the frame too. I know that up close it has so paint issues. a pastel Purple would look good. RE the tubeset, It is kind of wrong to call it an 853 if its a mixture but why not make a feature of it, its one tube. have some scissor cut lines made as decals and put mini single colour reynolds and columbus stencils on the appropriate sides. '-> Columbus' or a Dove. '853 <-' with an arrow. The way i imagine it it would be in keeping with the current design and look slightly drawn on wih a sharpie. Alternatively reynolds do send out decals ( at a fee) to genuine frames/tubesets if you have a serial number, sometimes even without one if they have some info about the brand or bike model.
