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.

Have to go kick myself in the ass a few times for selling it. |

Silver, Chevy blue, or white in that order. Factory colors are best.
|

Well, I may not be the best one to ask about this....
<--- 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.

I’m a little partial....
Viper Red (dodge color). Yes red has been done, but it my car left the factory in cranberry red. ETA: Orange on a ‘72 in Heavy Chevy lineage. |

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. |
