color scheme

I want to paint my car the new corvette electron blue, but I think I could use another color to go with the blue. I was thinking red. I have a black interior, should I just make everything blue, I dunno I really could use suggestions on this.

my car has a polished TPI and and roll cage, I want it to have some style.

Hey,
Did you see the Blue with Gunmetal Gray paint scheme I photoshopped on my car a while back?
I think those two colors compliment eachother very well.
Maybe some heritage stripes in Gunmetal Gray?

Here's my PS:

Doesnt look to bad! The blue im useing is really dark almost looks black at night, so I am triieng to find somthing to compliment it. Most of the motor is polished and chrome, I ordered black sparco seats with the white sparco writing on the headrest. The wheels I have are chrome, the new '02 ten spokes.

all ideas welcome....

I wouldn't use red as a second color because your car would look toy like with that color scheme. My suggestion would be silver, white, or even a slightly lighter shade.

Was at a car show this past summer and a guy had a electron blue corvette with ghost flames on the hood. It was very tastefully done.

Oh, okay. I thought you said Corvette Electron Blue - which isn't exactly Dark blue. Maybe you mean Navy Blue Metallic?

Electron Blue:

when I was looking at the dealership at the new vettes the color seemed to be darker, maybe it was because I was there at night. Im guessing my best bet is to keep everything the same color, It might just make things easier. Thanks for all the replies!
