I am sorry, joe...
I didn't mean for it to sound like Black-roof over very dark green...
I meant, instead of a black roof, go with a slightly green-tint, but very close to black on the roof, over the existing main body color.
I meant for the tone-on-tone look to be very dark, almost black color of green on the roof and trunk lid, with the original body color green, obviously much brighter color, on the rest of the body, as it already is, a much more stark contrast.
I like blue, myself, and I was thinking that tone-on-tone blue like this: (obviously not as hugely expensive... but for color reference...)
on an SVX... I would use the brighter blue as the main body color, and the darker blue on the roof and trunk lid top. The original post in this thread got me thinking about the same sort of theme in green.
The thought also crossed my mind, for my own blue-on-blue paint job, to do a tri-tone like a few of the silver SVXs, and use a third shade of blue, between the two, on the lower body cladding, delimited by a black stripe in the body-line channel. So basically it would be nearly-black navy blue on the roof, bright blue on the main body and hood, and a third darker blue between the two colors, on the lower body cladding.
There are so many good blues to choose from...
