    I like the orange better. That combined with the drop shadow make them pop!

    The natural color compliment for blue is orange, and for green it is red, so the orange works well for both. The purple is too subdued to really show up in such a small amount.

    Orange POPS and purple blends. I like Purple because I hate for things to really pop out at you. That is just my oppinion but like I said, if you want it to really pop then Orange it is.

    Agree,purple will let the blue stand out more than orange but I like the 'pop' and contrast of the orange.Want the added contrast or to high-light the blue is the question.

    i like the purple the best. the orange doesnt look bad, but it just doesnt really fit in. the purple stands out, but not too much. and do you really want the highlight of your truck to be a bright ass orange pinstripe?? just my opinion. flames look great by the way!

    Made your decision here yet? I can't wait to see how this thing comes out. Should be the coolest painted tahoe in your area that's for sure!

    I agree with the orange, however, a combination of the two colors can give the flames some depth.
