I'm in a  bit of a quandary and thought I might get an opinion or two from  
the  group...

The subject is my 1965 500 sedan which is headed to the  painter next week.  
The car is Cameo Beige exterior and Sandlewood  Tan/Beige interior. I was  
planning to have it painted the original  color since I have new off white 
door  
panels. Now I'm thinking that  I should take advantage of this opportunity to 
 
change color. The  problem is that I'm color challenged (typical engineer?). 
I'd  
like  to hear some of your ideas on color schemes that would work with the 
off   
white door panels. Pictures would be even better.

Thanks,

Well, Ned - One of the most beautiful and, I think, unique 1965 color  combos 
was the dark Green with the tan interior. My 65 Corsa Convert was that  combo 
and it was nice. I think it would be as nice with the off-white panels. 
Good ideas - nice possible stock color combo, and not too  common.
Bad Ideas - Dark green may be as unforgiving as black for panel  
straightness. Prep would be important. 
 
As for Cameo beige? Be careful, a court might find you liable if other  
drivers follow you for a while in traffic, fall asleep and crash. (only one  
opinion, of course!) - Seth
