Quote HistoryQuoted: 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). http://veh-markets.com/uploads/postfotos/2006-dodge-charger-daytona-rt-gomango-orange-2.JPG It changed in recent years. |

Quote HistoryQuoted: 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. https://www.AR15.Com/media/mediaFiles/369185/1602905636559635134619-1639832.jpg I love hugger orange, but it’s overdone IMO. |

Black stripes will look like shit on the green or blue. Consider White or silver stripes or a lighter color

Had a buddy back in the day with an SS 396 Chevelle in dark Shadow Gray - black stripes, black guts.
Gorgeous car. Can see it clearly in my mind right now 40+ years later... |

Firemist metallic, any Firemist Metallic really.
Personally I have a desire for a late 60s early 70s GM small block two door in Cobalt Blue Firemist with white stripes. |

Quote HistoryQuoted: Ah, perhaps it's local culture but lousy with something just means a large quantity. I have personally known two people with 1972 chevelles. My cousin in high school and over twenty years later my coworker has one. Both green. Quote HistoryQuoted: Quoted: I disagree with the opinion that it's lousy. Also, nearly all green cars are of a lighter shade. Ah, I took it to mean that it looked poor, I’ve never heard it used that way. My car was green from the factory, but it was a very unattractive shade.

My choice would be blue, but a silver stripe.
Mango is the only one that would look good with a black stripe. The green would go best with a white stripe IMO. |

The deep ocean blue gets my vote. Me and the wife did a '73 Road Runner in the '90s. We had it painted Gun Metal Blue. Looked really nice. Someplace I have a 35mm pic of it.

If you want to go w/ a monochromatic street car w/ no stripes and possibly some emblems shaved, go w/ the green. If you want the wide Chevelle stripes and all the extra chrome bits, go w/ a different color.
