Color scheme suggestions welcome - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

My truck is black, or at least it'll be black again once I get it repainted. But the interior is also black. I was trying to figure out maybe a different color scheme than just everything on the interior being black. I've already got the carpet ordered and it's black, but any suggestions as to different color schemes I could use on the interior would be appreciated.

seat, dash pad, door panels, sun visors, etc. could be another color..... everything goes with black. Blue or red would be fine, and I see where LMC offers everything in grey also.

I think some pine accents would be nice on black. Like a solid pine dash bezel, glovebox door, ashtray door, and door panels. Or go with all the above parts in a graphite metallic grey.

wow dubie, did you get that color from my post? he he he.

anyway, im not really into the whole wooded forest scheme, but whatever tickles your nutz....I would have to say go with some bling bling chrome accents (dash bezel/cig tray/glove box/steering wheel/steering column) with the black. Since everything is black anyway, I dont think you can do much with the color scheme except changing your bench, visors, handrests to another color but I dont think it will go. Hmmm...maybe some brown faux crocodile bench seat/visors would be cool.

Black works well with Orange or red accents. Another unusual color I have seen with Black is a Teal(that's a fairly bright not quite exactly like lime green for you rednecks"of which I is one,[a redkneck I mean]).
Grey/Gray also works but doesn't create much contrast.
Yellow would also work but I personally cain't abide 'YELLER CARS'.
Hot pink might also be another unusual option.
Gold.
Silver.
White.
Purple.

I took a problem solving course once where they advised listing any solution, including the wildest that you could come up with then paring the list.You would be suprised how often the wildest ideas seem to work out best.That is the spirit in which I replied to this post.
