interior color opinions

i'm new to the forums, been visiting for a while, but i finally signed up. i've got a 72 gmc to be converted to a 67-68 chevy someday. currently i'm doing all drivetrain related work. i'm planning on painting my truck satin black. i'm trying to decide on interior colors and ideas. i'm gonna run carpet, and a bench seat. i know black is the easy answer but i was thinking about thowing some white or red in there, or both. maybe like white door panels and red arm rests and/or a white dash pad. i'm gonna have some white on the outside of my truck, up front i'm gonna paint the headlight bezels and the grill trim white. i was also considering painting the top of the cab white. i was just looking for a little input from fellow gear heads.

Re: interior color opinions

Almost any lighter/brighter color works well.Red,orange,yellow and white all work with black.I have also seen a green used for accent on a black car that looked really good.It might be a good idea to keep the theme with material also.For instance use the contrasting color on all of the upholstered parts.You may also want to consider running steelies(wheels) painted the same contrasting color.

Re: interior color opinions

"WELCOME to the board!!"
Black looks good with about any color interior.If I did a black truck and wanted white accents I`d do the grille face with stainless trim and top,like factory.I`d really like all that silver.Red interiors look killer with black.I suggest you search the sight and ponder your choices.Seeing is the best aid to color choices.
