paint color suggestions

Clearly these parameters are mildly obsessive compulsive and you will most likely find yourself unable to make an honest color choice without removing the entire interior and looking at the body with all of it out of sight. Most likely the pieces will never find their way back into the car if you continue to be able to buy stuff then. Did you consider different shades of the colors you hate. Like graphite grey, baby blue, blue over grey, etc... The colors you hate are all the only colors that would work w the blue interior is really the problem.

Pulling the interior is not an option until i find the pieces i need.i need to replace the sun beaten plastic parts.ive got a chip book ive been looking at.been checkin out other cars,just nothing has popped out and said im your color yet.kinda figured if friends and people that idont know had some ideas,i might find something that says im your color.

Here is how nice my interior is.to change it id want the same seats in as good or better condition as i have now.

The seats and upper door panels and the overall interior look to be in really good shape but as you said the plastic pieces will need work or replacement.
At least with a factory blue interior color replacement parts are an easy match, with my interior every plastic piece plus the vinyl dash and center console I had to paint with SEM paint since it is not a factory color but you would never know by looking at it.
I think with new carpet and redo or replace the rest of the plastic pieces and some detailing that will end up being a pretty sweet interior, and yes I know it will still be blue but I think if you make the interior near perfect you will appreciate it more regardless of the color.
I personally think GP's came with the nicest interior's and is the only one with a center console that looks like it was designed to meet up with the dash.

That's the 78 Silver Shadow my grandfather left behind to the family last year face to face w/ my 88 Brougham. It has a blue interior and you would think it wouldn't look very good together but it works together very well, so well I had considered it for my 88 but that mix of paint was just going to be way too expensive for me. IDK what you have to spend but its just an idea if you don't like blue that much. I'm stuck white but it grew on me once I realized how many colors were not going to work w/ the tan interior and black suede headliner I chose. I just really don't feel like removing the stock interior prematurely either so I know what you mean. Money is the object; if it wasn't the fam would keep my grandfather's trophy car and I would paint the 88 to match it and redo the whole interior too; but I suspect the Rolls will be gone soon and I will end up repainting white to save money and just spice it up a little w/ some metal flake or Cadillac DTS style 'pearl' mixed in so its white but an improvement over stock instead of just the same thing again at least. If you combine the colors you dislike just the right way you can make a compromise or get the gp to flop 2-3 colors that look good together but would've been lame as flat colors separately. That rolls paint is really just some common green's / blue's that looked LAME as flat colors and were being used by Mini / VW at the time but rolls combined them to come up w a pretty damn neat color overall from 2 colors that were becoming 'played out' in the UK at that time

I didn't realize how hard it is to tell in that pic but you see how it looks blue? For some reason the car usually looks green from other angles especially when there isnt very much light or at night. This is one of the few pictures that the car looks 'candy blue' when in fact it likes to flop two colors like Jeykll / Hyde !

You could try a two-tone like this. I had a two-tone silver and charcoal like this in high school. But mine had silver on top, and gray on the sides.

Ya,when you want it too.wasnt supposed to be a purple,was supposed to be a candy red.the house of colors kandy brandy wine started with the first stage as metallic blue with a transparrent read tinted clear over it.it didn't turn purple.what a pain in the *ss that house of colors three stage is.
