paint schemes & balance

[s.e.charles]

how are the colors of two tone paint jobs determined?

maybe i mean shades, but some cars have fenders dark & roof light. some vice-versa. some have trim lined body panels dark or light against the main body color.

is this more a color analyst question?

i'm a dark low/ light high guy, but now sure where that comes from.


AND while we're on the subject, when was it determined maroon and red were a good combination? this might be more of a hot-rod thing, so i'm going to post it on HAMB, too.

thanks,

sid
