What color would be a great accent to the signal yellow? Orange, Grey, Black......?
OF course the base accent color will need to be tinted to accent the signal yellow.
thanks

MRM... IMHO painting panels/sections of a car in different colors destroys the fluid lines of a car.... particularly the flowing lines of any 911 form. Am into this subject so am going to find examples to compare....
Disregard cab and coupe below. A Britto-done car compared to a single color car. I happen to admire Britto's style but put it on a Porsche and the design of the car is lost... which may well be the owner's goal. If so... mission accomplished. The single color car by comparison... the eye can look over the form and the lines are retained only because the planes and panels of the car are not chopped up by different colors. Shadow & highlight does change the color but in doing so provides depth & reflection which gives form.
The lines of a 67 are classic by default at this point in time. To muck them up with different colors is---now comes my personal opinion---insanity. Surly I'm a purist when it comes to color.
Best with whatever you choose to do!
