I agree with jonny. Black or some darkcolor. I think if you realy wanted the 2 tone. black with a smokey grey bottom would be good.

HOT PINK!
Lol!
Dont do red anything with black unless it is red racing stripes. Black will look good with DARKtinted wimdows and black rimsbut it's hard to keep it looking clean. Try to match the bumper to your rims like matching shoes to your belt. Maybe 2 tone powder coat rims. Chrome and black would look great if you have chrome bumpers.I had a gen 2 ram All black with dark windows but with chrome rims. It looked nice with the chrome bumpers. My dak is dark green and silver with silver pin stripe. Looks like an old mans truck. lol But its clean
