I'm planning on having Lorraine painted in the next several months, and wanted to see what the Black/Aquamarine color combo looked like. If you have any photos of this combo, I would be grateful if you posted it.

Still, it kinda gives me an idea. Thanks for posting. jimntempe Posted 2013-07-25 3:39 AM (#387637 - in reply to #387285) Subject: Re: 1956 Dodge colors Expert Posts: 2312 Location: Arizona http://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Dodge.custom.royal.1956.mild... http://photos.aaca.org/files/6/0/3/3/4/1955_desoto_fireflite_corona...

Thank you Jim. That gives me something to go on. I'm definitely leaning toward the Black/Aqua combo. I would keep the interior the same black/white/gray to be correct.

Just my 2 cents.

I still have a few months to decide. I need to see a freshly painted, all black Royal to decide. That may be the clincher.

It's a color I like to see on OTHER people's cars. I'm still partial to blues, greens, and white accents as well as two tone greens.
