Default best color combo?

I'm thinking of changing the paint color on my 64 pro-street vette. The original color of the car was white with red interior. It is now Porche guardsman red with white interior. I kind of want to use a paint color from a newer corvette,, What combo would suit the car the best?

'08 Corvette Velocity Yellow with Red leather would eye popping on your '64 Pro-Street.

If you are going to change the color; my vote is for milano maroon, with a saddle interior.
Oh by the way that sort of looks like my 2003 Anniversary edition. Or the 2011 crystal red with cashmere GS that I would like to have.

2005 Magnetic Red would look great with your white interior.

I'm surprised I have not seen a recommended black on black or red and 67 hood with a red stinger. Might be doing an LS powertrain as well allowing for a lower hood.

I'm with these guys. Put a Tuxedo (Black) on that bad boy, with some ***** house red interior, match it with extreme horsepower and light 'em up.

One vote for the 2001 Magnetic Red Metallic. We have this color on our 2001 Vette and it would look great on your '64 Pro-Street. That said, about any color would look great on your '64 Pro-Street.

My vote is also for the Inferno Orange. Here's a pic of my son's '11 'RO:

Enjoy!

I think it's closer to jetstream blue, but what set it off was the diamond/metalflake silver.
The flame job at the rear was excellent, but the ssr would look great without the flames.

for a custom Sting Ray, that blue with a diamond silver stinger and silver interior, would
be a killer
