Default 05 f150 fx4

I've got a silver and charcoal gray F150 FX4, i want to come up with a "Accent Color" (For tow hooks, brake calipers, and anything else you guys can think of)

My ideas were: a brighter shade of green, red, or orange

I could use a bit of advice on this guys. Ill post a picture here.



Any ideas would be awesome!

I used Metalic Burnt Copper engine paint for brakes, new diff cover, and tail pipe. I have white on dark charcola/black as well.

I looks classy, a lot better then red, silver, or black. Stands out just enough but not overdone and gaudy
