Default Jeep Green Painted Gauge surrounds

I'm thinking of painting my AC vent surrounds and gauge cluster surrounds. I'm trying to figure out what color I should paint it. I think matching it to the Jeep green outside wouldn't look good so I'm debating other colors. I was thinking orange or yellow. Has anyone done this or does anyone have suggestions.

I did my vent surrounds as well as the speedo trim ring and shifters in Jeep green, I think it looks great. Not sure how going to a color other than the vehicle color would look though. Also did my speaker grills and dome light surrounds too.

I did mine in Jeep Green, and while it doesnt just jump out at you, it does look good. My vents are fine, but im gonna have to redo the grab handle above the glove box as thats all flaking off. I still want to do the sides of the of the center of the dash to really get some more color in there.
