They were available in all of the stock colors. Black was the most common. I have seen red, green, blue, black and white. When asked Richard Schwinn said white was very uncommon.

Mine is white with gold letters and the gold fork. Never had a wheel clamped in it. Stunningly elegant........

Here is the script from the Waterford website regarding the Anniversary Models:

"One of 600 or so Paramounts with gold decals, a gold plated fork and special 50th Anniversary certificate. Note: Other 1988 bikes had a small chainstay decal celebrating the 50th Anniversary."
