I wish I had a sweet modern Teal carbon bike but this is what I have. Flat sky blue and a super vibrant Orange (yuck)

Now I need pedals.
Choices:
Blue
Teal
Green
Orange
Yellow
Red
Purple

Is there a way to cover up the orange logo?

I kinda like that color scheme. You really shouldn't have bought a bike you don't like the paint of.

you can probably de-sticker the rims. A hair drier might help if you can pick them at all, to melt the glue. And you can get the glue residue off with a solvent.
The frame decals will probably be under clearcoat so you can't do those.

That bikes already pretty loud, i'd just do black. If you really want a color, don't do a matching color, do something that clashes like pink.

:((( I wanted a lightweight mountain goat of a hardtail, with dropper seat and airfork in my price range.... I Love the blue, but the orange is so loud.... I might sell it DESU I love all red on a bike with no logos at all.... I actually have Black pedals, I'm honestly just trying to hype myself up to ride it more often by sprucing it up with hot new pedals and maybe grips too?

Vinyl wrap. I have used wrap on 2 of my bikes to cover decals and colors I didn't really like and to add colors I did want.
It's not going to come off in the rain, but it's also not permanent.

i think it looks cool. The bit I don't like is on the forks. If that's a sticker you should take it off.

you know orange is a classic bike colour right

Orange on the rims is too much but the rest is cool. Put the orange stripe saddle back on. Purple pedals might look good but if you don't like 'loud' just make everything black and chop your balls off while you're at it.

Personally I think that frame looks fine. If you want to make that look really sharp take the decals off the rims and fork as others have said. Then go with black or orange pedals.

Orange if it matches the orange on the frame. If not then the red.

You are aware you can disassemble, paint, and reassemble your bike, right? Your problem is literally a product of your laziness since you can make it any color you want, any time.

That being said, it looks nice. Every bike today is either black or grey and it's horrible. Yours has some character.

The highest aesthetic in cycling is the point where it's ugly, but in a way that only the most obsessive autistic hipster would land on.

OP and his detractors are many levels below this point. Keep going. The correct pedal color choice was silver in this case. Silver is a statement on this modern black-component bike. It is contrarian and ugly to the noob and casual. It sets the groundwork for further descents into further levels of desecration

looks fine, mountain bikes don't have to be all matchy matchy. if everything is too "sterile" it just looks cheap/entry level/bone stock
