Blue and Grey.

Red and yellow on white makes me think McDonalds and Red and Grey works better on black.

It depends on the context. I think that The second and third would be nice if the grey was an accent and white was the main color. The red is too bright to hold its own against white and the same can be said for the yellow.

You're potentially asking the wrong crowd. I have learned that with all questions regarding color, ask a woman. Women see colors better than men .

Red and blue! What are you, a terrorist!?

I like the blue/grey combo, though.

Probably the blue and grey. The top is pretty MacDo and the red/grey looks kind of pedestrian.

Interesting. For clarification, they're meant to be racing stripes on a 1980s-style car.

I think I like blue and grey best. They contrast best against the white in my opinion.

Ah, well then! That makes a little more sense considering the color choices! Might I recommend some sort of sunshine yellow gradient stripe thing?

Hey, what are the odds! I was actually thinking of something like that.

Those look rad. It would be super retro if you made them progressively more orange hue or something. Kinda like this maybe:

I think that making the white kind of eggshell-y creme-y off-white would be "swaggin" as well. I think the kids still say that, right?

I'd love to do that but my color palette won't allow that. Plus I'm trying to keep this rather minimalist. :D

White will be like on the pic. Pretty sure the kids are sayin' "illest" these days...

Ah, I've heard that on "da streets". Is this an assignment for a course or something? Or is it just an exercise in minimalist design?
