Default Best 951 Colors?

I am about to paint my car. Any suggestions on awesome paint colors?(Car originally was linen grey metallic, or something, and was painted a dark metallic blue. Lots of paint started chipping off, and it got to the point where i need a new paintjob)
Pics would be sweet.

Figure out what color Duke's is.

Other choices:

Seal Grey
Speed Yellow
Dark Slate
Any Gem tone

Just don't do Arena Red Metallic. It's hideous.

Honestly, with an 89 I'd prefer staying the stock color.

I have to second Stone Grey. The fact that my 951 is Stone grey notwithstanding, it was exactly the colour I was hoping to find. Always been partial to Black as well. I have the polished 16" rims and I think they go well with the grey, plus Grey is more forgiving than Black for hiding dirt and dust.

Pretty much anything but Black, White and of course, Red.... Personally, I like the darker blues and greens. They seem royal and fitting of the car.

satin black metallic.
really glows and changes from dark to light depending on the lighting.
i think that the metallics are tough to shoot on a re-paint, tho.

Slate grey or silver hides the swirl marks and dust better than any other color. Black gets full of dust and your constantly trying to keep it clean plus it's get's hotter in the summertime. The slate gray or silver is classy and yet sporty. Reno

DON'T paint it Azure Blue. I like being the only one around!

What colour is your interior? Black?

Paint it that primer grey looking Audi TT colour! I'd like to see that
