    Paint Color - blue or maybe green

    I’m nearing the point of needing to pick out paint colors. I have gone back and forth about my color scheme, but I’m fairly certain I have landed on blue with black or dark gunmetal gray stripes. I am blacking out all chrome. For the blue, I’m looking at Royal Blue, Indigo Blue, and Jeep Hydro Pearl Blue. There’s a Hydro Pearl Blue Jeep in my neighborhood, so I’ve seen it in person many times. For the black, I’m looking at Black Sapphire Metallic (BMW). We've got a vehicle in this color, and it looks really good in the sunlight.
    I’m thinking since I’m blacking out everything and the stripes are going to be dark, I may not want Indigo Blue because it is darker than the other two options. I've tried creating images in ChatGPT, but I can't really tell the difference between the royal blue and the Jeep Hydro Pearl Blue. Also, the black stripes don't really show the metallic.

    I'm here for any and all opinions. I do know that I would want my painter to do some spray outs before making a final decision.
