    Both IS colors are on a darker side, may not provide much contrast where the 2 shades will meet; maybe another lighter/darker color combo or/and a transition fade instead of a sharp edge.

    actually...

    i like the combination. i'm no fan of Hondas, but you certainly picked the best option for cheap speed. post pics after it's finished :)

    another option i've considered...

    painting it the indigo ink pearl (the blue), and down the sides do some type of tribal design in the black..

    i wouldn't be a fan for too much contrast. i rarely even like 2 colors on a car to be honest. not my normal style..

    btw, the kit i've got on order is a buddy club front with mugen sides and rear. the crx (which as of yet i haven't purchased, waiting for my accord to sell) is a 91 Si w/ a ZC swap, new brakes, coilovers, headers, exhaust, gotta put an intake on it, short throw, bout it. few other things too.. it did have a turbo on it, still got all the gauges for it. all i'm goin to do is put the kit on it, paint it, put my 17's on it, maybe a few other things, bout it though. wifey won't lemme dump too much cash in it, or else i'd put a K24 w/ a K20A head on it... fun stuff...
