For me i think it would be all about what the purpose with the ride is, but as you mentioned black car with red interior is awesome then we have a light color as Savanna beige or even a white car with some nice wheels perhaps tyres with a narrow red wall....

Grey looks good...

Supposed to be Anthracite Grey but the paint suppliers made a slight error and it can look slightly brown in some lights and almost green in others. Roll Eyes

I don't really like silver with red, tends to make he red look too bright. White or black generally look best.

I'm a fan of white bugs with red interiors a well. I had a white '66 with red and it looked sharp. Plus bieng a '66, it had my favorite style of door panel because of the little chrome trim piece in the middle.
