It looks like the fork matches the secondary orange that surrounds the more prominent color on the front triangle. At first glance I thought the same though.
the fork has a matte finish, the orange matches in person, guessing it just didn't photograph in the studio the same way it looks in person. They had them at the event last weekend, it think it looks good!
When I first heard Specialized was integrating tube, pump, and tool compartments into the frame, and already being one who forgoes a pack whenever possible, I started drooling over the concept. Now that I see it implemented, I really want one of these. Well done Specialized.
