Color Scheme

I am trying to think about some color schemes for the interior of my truck. I ahve already determined that the exterior will be a metallic blue almost Royal. I am going to go with black door panels, carpet, and a dash pad.

I'm thinking about what color to paint my dash shell.

Should I paint it the same color blue as the truck? Or a gloss black? Or maybe a metallic silver since my chassis is silver?

Just looking for some input on what might look better.

match it to the outside. Makes it look complete when the inside perfectly matches the outside.

I agree, make it the same color as the exterior. It will look good.

I have been mostly thinking about that route also, but I thought I'd ask on how other people feel about a more custom look. Another reason thought about having a different color dash was, I pulled a dash out of a 79 bronco XLT Ranger and the exterior was Red while the inside was mostly black. Black Dash, door panels with the woodgrain inserts, inside doors were silver, woodgrain dash bezel and trim, black and silver bucket seats, black carpet. I thought it was a pretty sweet setup. Too bad most of those parts were not in good shape.

Thanks for the feedback
