Your Opinion Please - Tailgate Lettering Color for Alto Blue

[OleFordGuy]

So I ordered a Alto Blue Lariat Maverick back in December (who knows if it will ever get built - looking sort of dim these days). I would like to add the tailgate lettering that I see many have done in this forum but I'm not sure on a color. I understand the Alto Blue can look Black in certain lighting conditions but it's actually a deep Blue metallic.

My first thought was a gray or a silver shade maybe to match the plastic trim. Then I thought maybe a color like on the Lariat seats. Anyways, I would appreciate any and all opinions - and if possible some pics of yours or Photoshop renderings from the talented folks that know how to do that.

Thank You!

Something nice and contrasty like yellows and orange look great. Also, lighter shades of blue and some greens look fantastic. Also, carbon fiber, or colored carbon fiber, like red. Also, lots of patterns, and flags. So many wonderful things out there!

Reflective black, red or white could look cool too. I didn't like the reflective black on my cyber orange. Because it turned white in direct light. Sometimes even during the day. But with a high contrast color from white like Alto Blue, could look great day or night!

orange is a complimentary color to blue so a light orange or dark orange matching the dark blue would work. Also black, greys, and white are luminous colors and go with just about everything so check them out too. chrome works because its basically a reflective grey. whatever you decide and once your truck arrives def show us what you went with.

I went with matte black raised abs letters .. I also blacked out the bezel around the logo.
