Alternate color schemes?

Thanks for your thoughts. Most likely I would only use that color on the roof top--kinda like the minis are currently. Have an alternate color suggestion?

As an alternate paint scheme, there is also the more radical painting in this two tone pattern, though I would reconsider green and black:



I removed my rear seats and all the linings go to the back of the trunk (for cargo space and weight reduction). So painting the trunk a lighter color like this seems a good idea for heat reduction in my case.

I will rebuild Black and Green over decades as parts die, until it becomes a different car of roughly the same shape and color. My minimum fuel economy goal is 55 mpg while averaging posted speed limits. I generally top 60 mpg. See also my Honda manual transmission specs thread.
