What color should I paint my Custom Fiberglass Console? (TWO-TONE INTERIOR!)

Ok, guys! So I need your opinion as to what color I should paint my center console...it's a custom 4-din peice that I have been working on, and it's now ready to be painted. (CLICK HERE FOR THE WORKLOG) I am in the process of two-toning my interior (BONE & BLACK)...I'm not sure what color I should paint it, so let me hear your input! Here's the pice along with some pics of the two-toning to give you an idea:

Bone, ‘cause it should match with you gauge cluster, which according to the pictures is bone. However, the best thing would be to photoshop your interior. It’s kinda hard to tell what’s better by just using these pictures.

Bone because the rest of the top dash materials are black (if the base color of ur interior is black which I assume)

I'll be starting the worklog on Saturday or Sunday night. I'll likley have some pics up on Saturday evening, as I will have ALL of the painted peices spread out as to perform the final 2000-grit wetsand and enamel coating.
