Built some lights for my Packard Sign like the ones i seen in old pics of a similar one. It was a black and white photo but looked to be a light color. Should they be white, silver or something else? Guess it's preference, so maybe black, dark blue? Thanks, Owen

Here is the old photo i found. It's a different sign but the same idea. Mine has the Packard logo half circle at the bottom.

Those are flipping STUD!!! I agree with JimT keep'em silverish. But a blue that matches the sign might be cool too,

Owen,
Looks good. Ever though about red? Might be a nice contrast. If not my suggestion is white.

I think the white would be a nice look that wouldn't detract from the sign, yet, still let the details of your light fixture be seen. Second choice would be the blue or orange that is in the sign.
