Go dark green with a little silver flake in it,that would look good with black flares and wheels.

if you go with anything other then white its gonna cost alot more for painting door jams... just to let ya know... maybe do a light grey or something that wouldnt make the door jams stick out... around here i think they want like $75 each jam on a vehicles cause of so much taping off of everything...
