This is going to sound kind of strange... but picture this... flat desert yellow (like the military unit color) mixed with high contrast flat black.  If you like the army green at least, might want to consider it.

Army green is good. I don't think I've ever seen one in army green, then again, I don't see many scooters at all around where I am. Just a few here and there. If there aren't many that color where you are folks will start to recognize you by your scooter. Like when PT Cruiser cars first came out, it took about a year or so before they started popping up here, but not many people have them. And I know who drives the yellow one and who drives the maroon one because they aren't common here in town. I suppose that could be good or bad, if you want to stand out or blend in. I always thought I would hate that bright kawasaki green until I saw a Super 8 in that color up close at the dealer the other day and I thought, well, that's not half bad. Mine came in blue because that is what I could find and afford, but if I could paint it any color I wanted, I would probably either go to Google Images and type in the brand name and look at each color that popped up then open a picture of one in a photo editing program and play with the hue and saturation and such and see which color really caught my eye. Army green looks pretty good, I don't think I would go much darker green than that, though.

This is the best I can do with the short amount of time.  Have a look and let me know what you think.

Sure you can... best part is the software is 100% free to use and free to change complete with source code.  The software is extremely powerful and can be overwhelming at first.  Go to http://www.gimp.org and there's a download for Windows/Mac and instructions on how to get it for your Linux based operating system.  Me personally, I use Linux... the software is available already installed on many Linux distributions.  If you are using any apt based Linux distributions, you can just click this link: apt:gimp to download and install in one single click.

Once you have the software installed, here's how I made those quick changes in two minutes.

Start with Wand Select, pick the target of the area with the color you are wanting to change.  Use the Select Menu to feather by 2px and grow by 1px.  Once you have an area you are satisfied with, copy using CTRL-C followed by pasting with CTRL-V.  Click on the "New Layer" button in the layer toolbar (not the menu).  In the Layer Toolbar, change the layer type to HUE.  Go to the paint toolbar and select airbrush and the color you want.  Paint the new layer whatever color.  If you don't like the color, you can go into the Menu: Colors, Hue-Saturation and play with the output.

Just remember, I've been using Linux and Gimp for more than ten years now... Windows and Mac are completely foreign to me.  I encourage the use of a second operating system for all computer systems as a fallback/precautionary use.  I've rescued many a dead computer system with a Linux LiveCD.  Just make sure to use what works for you.
