Default Need to pick a Colour - please vote

Just about to have my car resprayed but struggling to pick a colour.

Car was originally triple black but previous owner painted outside pearl white.

Here are my thoughts:
1. Jet Black with Black rims
2. Guards Red with Silver rims
3. Zermmat Silver with Gunmetal rims

All fantastic colour combos so I am finding it hard to choose. (maybe I just need to buy 2 more cars and have 1 of each hehe - just not sure the wife would agree!)

Votes?

I have Zermatt myself, but I would much rather have a 'classic' Porsche silver, also really like white 951's
My last 951 was metallic black, and even though the paint on my current one is far from perfect(black was very nice shape paint), everyone says they like my silver one much more as it brings out the lines of the car

I couldn't think of three more different color choices. I would vote silver, but not Zermatt, how about Polar Silver (993 / 968 color):

Silver. Red and black would be near the bottom of my list.

Let's face it, silver or gray for that matter, on a Porsche is about as creative as dirt. How about something like Iris Blue or better yet Minerva Blue (a color that is stunning on a 928 BTW). Shoot even predictable Guards Red is more creative than silver or gray.
