Color Ideas...

[bigkountry]

Here's a few, the red one was kind of difficult. I couldn't get the contrast to act right, but it's close. The red has a deeper charcoal tone to it as well.





Let me know if you want anything changed or if you want more colors. I'm still a novice at PS, but I'm learning.

Actually, that's an idea (the first picture from bKountry) orange and black.  Good if  you're an orioles fan.


Let's step back a minute and realize what is going on.       And i'm not nessesarily saying that this is a bad thing:

Grown men, on a truck website, discussing color combinations.  Does this match?  Does this go good with that?

Think about it.

Again, i do not state that this is nessesarly bad.

If it makes yall feel better none of the women around here like the gray/red combo   I had that same argument with my mother the other day.  She thinks it's dumb I even care about what color the truck is, just like I don't care what colors are inside her house    I'm gtting the truck out later to start rebuilding the front end and when I do I'm going to look over it really well to see if the body will even take black paint.  If I can, I'll tell you what, that trucks going to be black/silver.  I've already invisioned it.  I want it that black granite color on the new malibu's (Basically black metallic)  And A Medium Silver color I saw on a New Dodge Ram for the insert .  If it won't take black or will be too much work, I think I'm pretty certain it'll be some variation of the silver/red combo.  Thanks for the pics bigkountry, That black/silver looks so dang good.     I think i stared at the pic for 10 or 15 mins and can't find anything I don' like about the black/silver combo.  I like the darker silver in the red pic.  I think I have what I need now, the only thing will be me picking out a shade of red I like.  Thanks man!  If any of yall come up with any other ideas, let me know.

Turns out I don't wanna do the work to make the truck take black paint, so Silver/Red wins!

Are you not in touch with your girly side?

YO!! Bigkountry!! could you show me how orange top and bottom and the black line would look? I'm useless wit ms paint!! Oh and two black lines up the hood

My opinion:  I like the silver/black and the silver/bright red.  The contrast is sharp!  Are you planning to match the rooftop to the body-side color?

[the_legend_1981]

Silver/white looks best...I always liked the white in the middle.

[78 Chevyrado]

No, I don't care too much for the matched roof thing.

Silver and Black Center gets my Vote!

Meh! A. I grew up around Sisters, so I pay attention to colors and combination contrasts.... B. I was trainned in Auto Collision Repair and Refinishing, which made me even more of a Color Contrast Nit-Picker

No, I don't care too much for the matched roof thing.

You know usually I don't either, but to me these trucks just seem right with the Tops painted different....

My Truck is a Hawaiian Blue Metallic, and a Lighter Blue on the top, a way I would like to keep(Just a Different Color Combo), but I want to add a Color to the center of the Trim area....  My Wife Doesn't Care for a full Blue body(family superstion for the color), so it's probably going to be Black, yet I would like the top to be a Nice Heavy Metallic(Red,Blue,Silver,Green, Charcoal,or even an Extremely Heavy Metallic Black, since the body won't be).....

[Bitzer!]

[DnStClr]
