Default Best color to replace diamond blue metalic with?

Well the paint on the diamond blue metalic 951 I just picked up will have to be redone at some point in the not so distant future (I'm thinking spring time).

But I'm trying to decided what color to paint the car, I may go back to diamond blue, but if not i'll keep it in some factory color.

If you have a favorite amongst these color, or a nice example of them please post it up.

i'm leanging toward seal grey....

OR even better any aces with photoshop want to take a try and a 951 with the different silvers?

keep it Diamond Blue - complete color changes are expensive and not easy to do well (like strip the entire car for a complete detailed repaint). And a top only repaint will not look good when you open the hood, trunk, doors, etc.

Seal grey is cool, but I really like Cobalt Blue metallic!

Once you see pictures of this car you might change your mind on that, the paint on the car is bad, and I would have the door jams painted to match if I did this......
