The Jawa Standard was available in five colour options across its production run, each designed to complement the bike's classic chrome-heavy aesthetic:

**Jawa Black** - The most popular choice, and the one you'll spot most often on the used market. A deep, glossy black with chrome tank trim that references the original 1950s Jawa livery. Hides road grime well and photographs beautifully.

**Jawa Grey** - A lighter mid-grey that gives the Standard a more understated look. Works especially well with the chrome headlamp ring and exhaust pipes. Slightly harder to keep clean but popular among buyers who want something less common than black.

**Jawa Maroon** - A rich, deep maroon that's arguably the most 'classic' colour of the lot, evoking the old Ideal Jawa motorcycles sold in India in the 1960s and 70s. High resale appeal among enthusiasts.

**Midnight Grey** - Added in 2021 as one of two war-inspired special editions. A darker, more military-toned grey with matte-ish qualities on certain panels. Unique among the lineup and increasingly sought-after in the used market.

**Khaki** - The second war-inspired colour from 2021. An earthy olive-khaki shade that reads distinctly different from anything else in the retro segment. If you want a bike that genuinely stands out at a Sunday morning ride, this is it.

## Colour Options
- Jawa Black (#1E1E1E)
- Jawa Grey (#A9AAAC)
- Jawa Maroon (#7B2E36)
- Khakhi (#A59667)
- Midnight Grey (#3E4348)

For resale value, Jawa Maroon and Jawa Black tend to hold up best - they have the broadest appeal and are the colours most buyers picture when they think of a classic Jawa. Midnight Grey and Khaki attract a niche but dedicated following and can actually command a slight premium from the right buyer. Jawa Grey sits in the middle. Whichever colour you choose, the chrome tank trim and exhaust finish are the elements most vulnerable to neglect - keep them polished and you'll preserve both the look and the resale value.
