Default Effects of Backing Flourescent Yellow With Silver?

What would happen if I backed Pactra Flourescent Yellow with Pactra Silver instead of Pactra White? Would it still be bright and flourescent? I just painted the last section of a new body Flourescent Yellow, and was thinking about doing silver window trim. Would this make it noticeably metallic?

Silver will darken the yellow . If you want a bright color always back with white . Back your pearls and metalics with silver .

Silver will give it a deeper yellow look.
When i used flouro colours i used to back the fron with white and the rear with silver or gunmetal which gave a cool looking fade .

Thanks guys, I just backed the whole thing in white. I skipped the silver window trim. I'll try to get some pics up after I've cut the holes out and applied the usual (for me) drywall tape and shoe goo.
