I have the assembly and sculpting done for the IMF leader, but now I have to pick a color set. This is one where I am stuck. Here are several options I like, but would like your input.

Because the shirt comes from Indiana Jones and the legs from The Question, there are no options with a tan top or basic blue bottom. That's the best way to visually separate Jim Phelps from the source figures.

The belt buckle colors are stand-ins for metallics.

Comments welcomed.

Voted 1 but if you are taking suggestions, I'd go with a white shirt as that was the color shirt he wore most often.

I didn't consider white because the shirt is so crumpled, not like a proper dress shirt. If it had been a smooth, nicely fitted shirt, then white would've been my choice.

The other colors fit more with button-up, but not-quite dress shirts.

Yes, I really did overthink it that much.

"Phelpsian".

Sounds like a bone growth disorder.

#3 and #1 are in the lead here and on hisstank.com, so there you go!
