tri-tone color schemes...pics anyone?

First the backstory.... My mom crochets baby blankets for all of her coworkers, friends, family, etc... and when I was there for The Holidays, she had a blanket going that had these 3 colors (below) and as I sat there staring at it, and my dad sitting there nearby watching me, watching it, we both got to talking about how these 3 colors would look good on a street rod. So I thought I'd ask all of you picture hounds for some nice trucks using 3 colors.
And one as an example.

Sorry Havi, no picture but those three colors would look sharp! Would you do the gray and blue separated by the red, the gray and red separated by the dark blue, or do something really bold using the dark blue and red separated by the gray?

I don't really know yet. Whatever color is used the least, will be the color of the seat, though. (not necessarily on my current '48 F1 neither)

Here's a 3 color truck (at least) from the link in the smoking trucks thread. I don't think you can go too wrong here...

Yep, that's a good start. I have to go through that other thread one more time, too.

Havi here's a multi-colored paint job for you! It's my 54 the day I brought it home. Nothing says classy like 8 different colors.




I guess that's not quite what you were looking for?

I'm doing black over red with purple flames and silver striping there is sort of a drawing in my "chassis pics" gallery that shows it.
