Show me pictures of green color combinations please.

I am thinking about changing directions with my truck color. (My Build Project truck, not the Black one) I am thinking about a two tone green of some sort. Maybe jade green bottom and a lighter limish gold color top?? I don't know. Can I get a few shots of what you guys did?

Regards;

Chris

Re: Show me pictures of green color combinations please.

There was a kid that had a truck photoshoped with dark green on the bottom and light green on the top a couple weeks ago and there was a discussion about it in this forum but I can't find it now. Maybe someone else can help you out.

Instead of more metallic, I have thought some pearl added to this green would really set it off.

I wasnt sure about the lighter green at first but have got a lot of comments from people. Many do not know it is a factory color.

If you are not concerned with orginal colors, have you seen the new Viper Snakeskin green?




Depending on how much you want your truck to stand out, Kandy Green is very nice. (I should have some streetrod pictures somewhere)


There is also Kandy Lime Gold (brightness and depth will depend on the color base used) The color can range from Lime to Yellow:



Planet Green:


LimeTime:


I am a big fan of Organic Green:

The Viper Snakeskin green is very cool. There is a guy out here who has one, and you can see it coming from a mile away.

I like the two tone black and green Chevy too. 62?? Chevy I think. The hardest part is finding something to break the colors with. I'm not going back to my trim, so I need a stripe of some sort.

Beautiful truck, but is the green an illusion?

Re: Show me pictures of green color combinations please.

The only two tone green pictures I have saved on my computer. Sorry, I do not know whose they are.







More of a yellow, but it's bordering on the green end of the color spectrum.
