Default Paint combinations, roof color with body color

So I need to paint the roof of my 2001 Disco 2, mainly because it's fading, I've been told people have mixed colors up with their rovers: yellow body and black roof color, and a white body with a black top. I'm stuck on my desicion, because my color is just the regular navy blue, and I don't know what color to paint my roof? Maybe just repaint it the same color? Post your color combos.

you could always plasti dip and see what you like, first. you could just do the viewable part for testing, then peel it off.

Default Get creative..

Paint the Union Jack on the top - the navy will tie in with your vehicle and it would look cool.

Never seen a plasti dipped rover b4, that seems interesting. The union on the roof would be cool, but that's not my style haha. Id have to see what the off white would look like, it sounds good.

Thanks for the replies

I was thinking a white roof would look okay.
