Default 1966 Mustang Coupe Color Choice?

I was looking at a Arcadian Blue coupe with a two-tone blue interior that someone is selling. While I like blue, I'm not sure I can handle *that* much blue in a car so I was looking at repainting it. I can deal with the blue interior just fine, but I was trying to find something that would go with the interior color. The obvious choices are Nightmist Blue or white but I was wondering if black were an option (i.e, would it look out of place inside a black car). I tried to find some sort of example but so far no luck. Thoughts?

You said the interior is two tone blue, whats the second blue color? Personally I think Acapulco blue is the best classic mustang color, if the second interior blue is darker than arcadian it might look great paired with Acapulco blue exterior.

Interesting thought. It is darker actually.

I might have my terminology wrong - the seats themselves are light blue/darker blue.

Ya that was known as the Standard Interior. My first Mustang was Arcadia Blue with the same interior. Nightmist Blue or Acapulco Blue would be nice with that color interior. You could even go with the Silverblue color,which was also an original Mustang color. I would not go with Black though. Just my opinion.

Personally I don't think any other exterior color will go with the blue as well as blue. The only 2 colors I can think of that will go with blue interior is white or gray/silver exterior.
