Grey could look good. Anyone remember a Yellow 626 a few year back in Fast Fours, it had grey detailing in it looked great. If you didnt want to go grey or silver, maybe go a lighter shade of the same green you used on the outside,different enough to look deliberate, but similar enough to compliment it.

Grey (or silver, black or white) is a neutral colour that goes with
anything. Unfortunately it looks like undercoat.
