Dove blue is a stand alone color IMO. White accents, but no two tones. I have a friend that did his SC in black over mango. Nice job, but it looks off to me.

this should be in the roof rack ladder manual as the way to not do it.
Black over dove blue is probably okay, but i would only paint the roof and the area around the rear window. not the nose, and not the swage line

I've always thought Chestnut Brown would look good over Dove Blue.

Not black, and colors are flip-flopped... but it's two-tone Dove Blue (and Pearl Grey).
I guess it depends on local climate:
Even with a blue roof... the roof (and inside the bus) gets pretty dang hot.
Black... would be steaming.

IMO, its really hard to pair Dove Blue with anything, but that looks good. It reminds me of some of the non-production color schemes in the old hand drawn ads. |
