Colors on a computer monitor are very inaccurate.I had a rock moss green Model A pickup,the pictures of it on the computer NEVER reflected the actual color.I have a Model A coupe that looks black on my friends computer,but on mine it looks like a dark blue.It is really a very deep purple.If I can get the picture to post I will put it up on here.

Kaminar,

I agree, a maroon car with black fenders shouldn't have apple green wheels.
Bad taste has limits too !

I’ve seen ccpu in Rock Moss Green with Black wheels and with Apple Green wheels. As long as you can get past that the green wheels are definitely not “commercial”, I think that the two colors contrast very nicely with each other. My ‘31 TS is Kewaunee/Elkpoint with Apple Green wheels and those go together well.

Now, Ford Maroon and Black with Aurora Red wheels and whitewalls, that’s nice also. (On a sedan, not a pickup!)

And Yooper, my taste says don’t paint the reveals on a pickup. Too much busy busy on very simple sheet metal. Especially if you have the black radiator shell.

Keith, that looks like it may be Lombard blue. I was thinking about using it on my car but went with Washington blue instead. That's a good looking coupe!
