Color Choice: Miami Vice?

20080401vice6.jpgWe lost a brutal bet over the weekend which means a big change for our kitchen. Winning would've earned us a free massage but we lost and this means we have to design our kitchen using a color palette from...Miami Vice. (What have we done?!) At least the wager winner is allowing us to choose between the original TV show (left) or the less-pastel movie re-make (right).

Like we said - brutal. Jump down to see our color options (ack!) and to lend your advice as to how to make this work...

Actual bet:

Toward thet end of the Super Bowl, a friend said he would vote for Mitt Romney if the Giants won (he doesn't care about football, but does about Hillary).

Of course he didn't because who takes a Republican ballot in Cook County?

Oh my god, the first one of course! As high gloss as possible... verging on oily.

You got me! I would like to see you try to make this work though, I bet it's possible, lots of white would probably be the key...

I just mentioned to my boss that all the new american money-- the $20 and the $5 bills in particular--seem to be based on miami vice... maybe the u.s. mint lost a bet?

I was going to say - who cares? Just put Colin Farrell in the room and to hell with everything......well, I can still say that, yes?

I like the red and the black for a kitchen, assuming an industrial theme, but that purple would be tough to incorporate.
