Re: help with colour choice
ive come around to preferring darker colors on older cars. - damask red and old english white roof, black leather trimmed with cream piping.... here's an elf:

the roof in this case is "whitehall gray", not OEW.

Re: help with colour choice
once you go black, you never go back.... seriously though; the gray is quite light, and white might look a little pale against it. black. has to be.
