Re: Accent color for pewter?! Pewter (like silve and white) responds well to a bright accent color.. My choices in order would be red, blue, orange (would be different <img border="0" title="" alt="[Wink]" src="gr_images/icons/wink.gif" /> ) or even purple.. lol
The key is that its called an ACCENT color for a reason.. dont overdue it.. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Smile]" src="gr_stretch.gif" /> -- you can check the pics in my sig for an example.. I used to have red calipers and it looked VERY good with the pewter.. now my red is confined to the engine area and touches around the interior..
Good luck <img border="0" title="" alt="[Big Grin]" src="gr_grin.gif" />

Re: Accent color for pewter?! a bright blue, or orange. Or both?? Depends on your taste... but both look good IMHO

Re: Accent color for pewter?! Anyone have any pics of a Light Pewter with Orange Accents??? Looking to start some simple dress ups (calipars, engine compartment, etc...) Sounds like a good color scheme, just would like to see it first....... :-)
