I am a big fan of anodised aluminium for colourful accents but I usually feel like they are best reserved for "dots" or "splatters" of colour rather than "blocks". It easily becomes tacky if takes on too much visual mass in my opinion.

List of good dots:
- Screws
- Stemcaps
- Bottom bracket shells
- Headsets
- Seatpost clamps
- Bar ends
- Quick releases
- Tubeless valves
- Jokey wheels
- Cable ends
List of dots that can be good:
- Brake calipers/bodies
- Discs
- Pedals (sometimes)
- Hubs (rarely)
- Chainrings (rarely)
List of blocks that are almost always tricky to pull off:
- Whole cranksets
- Whole stems
- Handlebars
- Seatpost
- Rims
- Brake levers

And this is where is where it starts, in the minutia, balancing precariously on the bike jewellery tacky line.

Paniced by a next day delivery cut-off for hydro parts, took a swing for black Hope jewellery to finish the purple parts.

Still undecided and now looking at the fork, that's a lot of bolts and lot of very very small first world problems.

I'd keep the fork bolts silver (or black?), purple might be too much
