Top will have to stay Loire Blue, bottom will be some hue of gunmetal that goes with the blue, the one above would not look good IMHO but should be able to find one that looks good together with the blue...

I think the dark upper section of the body detracts from the floating roof effect of the RR, and only serves to create disproportion in the ratio of body panel / window / roof design lines that the L405 has to such a nice degree. ( the L405 proportions are way better than the L322, and the L460 lost it again imho) V8 or else ... |

There's also an added complication here of the DVLA.

In themselves the colours are fine but, to me, the split between the two, in either case, makes the top half look detached from the bottom half. John

I’m surprised that most people think that Land Rover had zero taste when they dreamt up this 2-tone thing. Personally, I think it looks OK, but only if the colours compliment one another in a subtle way, so no lime green & orange.

I quite like the two tone. I also like the different colour roofs, but that might look strange if you do the body also.
