I think silver would look better than orange if everything else was gonna be black.

Or no stripes at all would look great.
BUT If your dead set on stripes, either silver, or white.

not a stripe fan here, many look tacky and they can invite unwanted police attention

I'd use a metallic silver for the stripes. Orange is ok but too much of a contrast and you'll probably get a lot of Halloween jokes. If you don't have a painter yet check out my website and shoot me a PM if you want to talk.

Thats good for a stock hood, but on a cowl its gonna look like crap.

Just leave it black. Black third gen camaro's with cowl hoods look so incredibly clean that even ground effect colors screw them up. My vote is for no stipes at all.
