wheels are hard enough. how did you decide on your color??

I had $2500 worth of metal work done to my 67 small window cab. I realized I can't dedicate the time necessary to complete the cab this summer. I found a 95% complete cab just about ready for paint. I went and bought it. I should be able to get that ready in the next week or so. Now I have 3 cabs, 2 frames, two beds, and misch doors and parts sitting out back and not one ready to go...Geez. The joy of building a truck.

So, I didn't think I'd need to settle on a color so soon. Now I'm frantically picking up the pace to decide on a color because, as you know, i get one chance at this. Originally I was going to keep the beautiful green patina on my small window cab as the top half is in FANTASTIC shape and just paint the bottom where the repairs were made, white. That's out the window now. Now, with the entire new cab ready for paint I can do any color I want. OH MAN, the choices. I know many here are original guys and that's great but since I can do this anything I want I am seriously considering a true restomod look. I see a shiny (almost primer) grey is very popular and comes on many new cars I've seen (like jeeps, teslas, etc). Grey is not my first choice but as I scan through pics it just looks so good with any other accent color. My engine is burnt copper color (I wanted a twist on chevy orange). I like two tone and I want to keep the divider aluminum 67 molding to set it off a bit. So I can paint the bottom band and cab roof maybe white but I'm not sure how that would look with primer-type grey.

If anyone has anything to offer, personal opinions, or pics of a two tone or single grey like I'm talking about, that would be great.
