Can a mist green chevelle look good?

[bri2203]

First of all I would like to say I am impressed with some of the projects you guys have going on. My name is Brian and I am in the process of rebuilding my 1970 chevelle from the ground up.
Currently, I am in the process of replacing a lot of sheet metal.
Heres my situation..

I love the protouring look that I have seen in magazine and many of the vehicles on this site. That being said I will be removing the emblems, wheel well moldings, rocker moldings and adding some 17" inch wheels.

I was thinking of retaining the factory mist green color with black SS stripes because most of the chevelles you see are red or black. I have a set of 17" TTII but I am willing to sell them for something that is more unique. I would lower it so the tires would start to tuck in the wheel well.
What would you do? Am I headed in the right direction? Will this color combination pop?

I am not just going for looks,My whole suspension and drivetrain have been done. I have added a 1.125/1 sway bars and I will soon be upgrading my springs,In the future I will upgrade the stock disc brakes.
