Need opinion on body color

I would like some opinions on a new body color. I have a tan interior and I intend to keep it that way, but I am not sure I want to stay with the black exterior. What other colors look good with a tan interior? Post pictures if you have them. Thanks!

can always go white. mine is/was white (painting now). i think white w/ tan is good. dark green would also look good. and now that i think about it, id go w/ green over any other color.

i personally love my platinum. Yet make sure you get a clear coat when done. It looks sooo much nicer. I am curently saving up to get my entire cars body work redone. Which is a major pain in the *** but ya know. People make mistakes and you learn from them.

I do like the color black on these cars, but I am living in South Carolina right now and the dark car get REAL hot. I may go with a green or the white. Thanks for the help!

I really like Yellow... But men have to be "secure" to admit it. Tan interior would still look good... Tan is one of those Universal Colors, it goes well with almost anything... For decorating, It can be considered a Neutral, like Green, Black, White, Grays...

I think white and tan go well together, especially if it's a beige or off-white. A dark green also looks great with tan. Any other color, I think a black or grey interior matches best.
