I think a creamy OE white would look handsome with a medium blue interior.
I thought a lot about blues when I was picking the color for my bugeye; I
did not want the original Iris Blue, but thought I might find something
fairly close that I would like better. In modern colors, there are rather
few blues without metallic. One color I liked was available on
Triumphs--I think on TR6's, which I believe was called French Blue, and
Ford had a pretty blue available in the early 90s. If you talk nicely
to the counter person at a PPG paint dealer, he will give you a brochure
of fleet color samples, which might give you some ideas.
