For the interior?
For trim?

A lighter shade of the main color is a classis combination.

Re: color complement

If the green is dark enough, I'd go black. But I have no imagination.

Re: color complement

if there is a thick trim strip in the middle of
the car like there is on a 57 chevy. you
could go lighter green on top darker green
on the bottom and bmf to hide the paint
seam. then tan for the inside
thats what i would do
