I think that would look quite nice, but then I would say that really

Quite subtle

I've had a sneaky preview of the most beautiful Duotone ........I agree with Rav ... contrasting colours work better.

I cant really see the different as its so subtle

Like the old p4/p5 it would need to be quite alot lighter

That's the thing I don't get. All the "official" duotones had the darker colour on top, but to my mind, darker colours look "heavier" and are better suited to the bottom half (as they tended to be in the '50s & '60s).

I suppose I prefer 2 tone cars that resemble a good pint of beer!

Cliff, I know of at least one official duotone colour scheme where the darker colour is on the bottom, it's parked on my drive as we speak

And it looks like a pint of beer, or as Dawn described it hot chocolate with cream on the top
