Green/Black or Green/Tan paint pics?

I'm just about ready to spray my 1990. I'm thinking of staying with the OEM style two-tone, but in Dark Forest green/Black or Dark Forest Green/Tan.

Anyone got pics of either of these paint combos?

I'd vote for the forest green over the tan.

I have a nice example of a '93 LE factory green and tan two tone paint job I could send you a picture of.
It also came with the spice colored interior, it is a nice looking color package.
PM me an E-mail address and I can send you a picture.

Mark, you are correct, I believe the factory color was called Champagne.
I figured that was the color combo he was shooting for with the green and tan comment.
It is a sharp looking color combo especially with the LE trim package and tailgate treatment.

I have a '93 donor, that has the paint the other way, as it is mostly green with the champagne stripe in the center.

My truck was originally my father's and he ordered it new as solid tan "(Light Champagne"). Several years ago I replaced the bed due to multiple dents and decided I would two-tone the truck while it was in the paint shop -- using "Emerald Green," an OEM color from 1993. Only later did I realize that, OEM from Mopar, the green was available only as a base color and not as a highlight color. So even though my truck has 1993 colors, it is painted in a scheme that was not actually available to order in 1993. That's okay; the truck was in the Turbo Diesel Register calendar (September 2012), so at least somebody thinks it looks decent...

As long as it looks good to you. You are the one that has to look at it every day.

So does anyone have any pics?
I need to decide soon, and google searches aren't showing me anything.

Thanks, that helps. Is that color "champagne"?
My truck is a 1990 LE, so the door molding/color change is much lower. My lower half color will be smaller.
