Very difficult to judge based on chips they show on website.
Seems that you want to go with dark colour - so be strict about it and choose Ice Gold. -------------------- '94 ST202 - tuned, highly apprieciated, but sold.

i personally like the ice white pearl & I've seen the actually color sheet, i think it would look best over your color.

I said the Ice Pearl Gold...
Cuz the pearl paint job isn't too over the top, but yet, it adds a clean classy feel to it. In my opinion... I was wanting to get a pearl paint job on my car... But its not gonna happen... I either wanted the pearl to have a very slight blue tint in it, or a very slight pink in it... I think thatd look hot on a white convertible
