Depends deeply on the year of Chevelle.
I wouldn't put that green on a pre 68. The blue would look awesome on a 65/66/67 Wouldn't paint one of the early cars red though. They look...not as good. |

Green.
It is uncommon and in the 90s I had a buddy with a BRG 72 with black SS stripes (It was a 307, bench seat, column shift car). My Tacoma was faster then it but it looked really nice, made V8 noises and did burnouts so. My 66 Buick's original color was a dark green too (sadly it had been painted 2 different colors over the years). |

My 70 will probably end up as shadow gray or deep forest green. So one of those two would be my vote.

<--- note color With black stripes, the only choice is the orange. The others need a lighter stripe color. If you had said white stripe, the blue is the answer. |

The blue looks like a great choice, but I am not a fan of the stripes. It kills the lines on some cars, and strikes me as the visual equivalent of a huge wing on a Hyundai hatchback. Keep it classy and simple.

That doesn't look like any British Racing Green I've seen.
It should be more like this:  If we're going to go with classic GM colors, I'm going to say either... Fathom Green:  Or Dusk Blue:  Or, if you really want street cred, Frost Green:

Black stripes won't show on the darker blues and greens. How about a factory special order color? Hugger Orange was from 1970, don't know if it was offered in your year.

I’d probably pick the blue with white stripes.
But I saw an orange 1964 Vett today. It looked pretty good. It might do good on the Chevelle. Do not pick green please. |

The GoMango in the OP doesn't look right to me. Looks too red.
This is the color I knew as GoMango (not my pic, but I had the same car).  |
