1st) Royal Blue / yellow
2nd) Black / yellow

and another $.02; I'd swap the colors on the wings. Blue/Black on the leading edge will hide bugs and grime better than yellow. But I do like the way you've got it.

If I was going to paint the wings I would not use yellow at all. The wings were done by someone else years ago and never put on the plane. I am doing this as a favor for a fellow EAAer. In other words no money. I have to work with what I have. Both colors are Blue one is just darker than the other. I put leading edge tape on the wings. I am leaning towards the Royal Blue. I just don't know how that is going to look with Brown seats?
