If you go with an off white or cream color the possibilities are endless. IMO, no two tone looks right with bright white....but, a bright blue might work pretty good with it. Which body line are you talking about? The line down the center of the door where the bumper strips go? Personally, I think it looks better when the color break is at the top of the fender right below the windows.

Orange could work, but you're going to need some kind of stripe to break it up between the two colors. I saw a Chevy truck a few years ago that was bright blue on top, white the rest of the way down and it had a bright neon green stripe between the two. I know, it sounds strange, but it really looked good. I think the orange would look sweet with an off white.
