Raj, not sure if you are doing a 356 or 911. If 356 I think the auratium green with a deep rich tan would be stunning.
And we all know how much opinions are worth.

Thanks Raj, for a SWB I think some of the 356 colors work well so I will stay with my pick.

I'd vote for either green - never been very fond of black cars, though back over red on an early 911 / 912 is a good look.

Please consider staying with the stock light ivory on th car with the red interior.
After reading the Pano article about the Lago Green coupe, I must give it the vote.

Raj - I agree with Bob A - Auratium Green with a (dark) tan interior would be stunning...

Raj,
a couple of 356s in Auratium I ran across in 2012. Both done by Nick Clements at European Collectibles, both trophy winners at multiple Concours. The tan interior in the Coupe ( # 2 ) is very attractive, but………have you considered a Tartan pattern ( # 4 ). The "Oatmeal" colored square-weave carpeting with a tan interior would really finish off an elegant package.
The last shot is an even more obscure green, Leaf Green, available on 911s in the '71 /'72 MYs, I believe.
Hope this help - Good Luck.

Rob Dickinson's response when asked what motivated him to build Singers
I suggest 356 stone grey over the red interior with square weave carpet in red or grey oatmeal. Wood wheel. If you want a greenish look, stone over a green int. with green or oat square weave.
How about VW Dove blue over blk or red? As for tartan go with MBZ 300sl tartan in red or blue, there might be other colors. I thought of redoing my Ivory speedster's Glaspar in Dove with blue int and MBZ tartan.
Leaf green over oxblood int, oat and sw. Whatever it will be fun.
