    What colors does the company have in its logo and promotional material. You don't want to go off into never never land designing a piece of art. The oil company is a business, and has animage that it has built over time. You extend and promote the image or you will end up getting a kick in the a$$ from the managers of the company responsible for continuity.

    That said, it might not be the best idea to use the same color as a competitor. Green seems to be the new yellow. BP uses it, but it can be used pretty commonly among these types of companies.
