Prismatic Pearl. Refliptive. And Candy Emerald Green. As of today, these are some of the premium paint jobs available on the new Trek Madone SLR aero bikes purchased through Trek's custom Project One program. Above and beyond Project One's normal custom paint program, there are six paint schemes available in this new ICON program.

Most of the ICON paint schemes change appearance with the angle of the light.

ICON Chrome Tour is what,Trek-Segafredo will race at the Tour de France, with a multi-layer pearl-white base-color topped with chrome red and black team logos.

The ICON Refliptive changes color in the light, with the most marked change in the logo, which goes from flat and subdued to white.
