haha, your a smart man Ice.

I *was* going to do the inside of my YY Cube case in
Zink Chromate. It's an odd green that they use in painting
the inside of bombers and stuff. Something to do with the
way it helps you see better in low light or something. I thought
that would be great for this stealth like YY case I'm working on.
But I was concerned with the CCFLs making it look really bad.

What I did was take a cardboard box that just happened to be
about the same size as the inside of my cube case, prime half
of it in black, and half of it in grey, then paint different sections
of the inside of it the various colors that I was *considering*
using inside my case...then I just powered up the blue, red,
and UV CCFL individually, and in groups to see what kind of
colors I would get out of the paint/CCFL mix.

Needless to say, my interior is flat black. LOL

I also went with flat black to help highlight the florescent stuff
that's going to be going on in there (dye-lite and such).
The drawback to black, let alone FLAT black is that the ambient
light in the case is diminished considerably. But it does give the
illusion of making the interior look much much smaller...which in
turn makes my case mod look much more intricate...like "how the
hell did he fit all that crap in that lil case?
