Dark Green Interior and ????? Exterior?

Still in the planning stages of my 72 C10 SW build. Originally it is a hugger orange with parchment interior color scheme.

I bought a large lot of parts recently and in that lot came a new carpet, door panels and seat upholstery. All of this is Dark Green. Add some arm rests and a dash pad and my interior would be done, saving a ton of cash.

But, what exterior colors go good with a dark green interior? I'm a bit color blind and so is my dad so if we pick the color ourselves its not going to be good...

Any pics of interior exterior combos would be awesome!

I would think green would have been available with green, black and white.

Here's green with BRONZE and it was on the SPID too:

Thanks for the pics!
I may be color blind but the green/bronze looks like a bad idea!

Re: Dark Green Interior and ????? Exterior?

What about Green interior with black carpet and a few other black items like door panels, a green and black seat, and Black exterior?

EDIT: the seat like the second pic of the link but the vinyl in black, or just the opposite, black cloth and green vinyl.

Re: Dark Green Interior and ????? Exterior?

When you say "dark green" do you mean "green" or "olive"?
Big difference as to what will go with what.

I'm going to go out on a limb and guess olive...

The following are all good combos for an olive interior imho:
Dark Olive (solid or with or without standard or deluxe 2-tone (white or med olive))
Med Olive (solid with or without standard or deluxe 2-tone (white or dk olive or light yellow))
White (solid)
Black (solid)
Light Yellow (solid or, for a very nice touch, lt yellow with med olive top)

A few olive int pics (if you meant green vice olive, sorry, can scrap this whole post!) In order - dk olive / med olive / black / black / dk olive:

Re: Dark Green Interior and ????? Exterior?

Medium Olive (or two tone with white) will look good with the dark green stuff you have.
