Default Picking a color

I'm trying to pick out a color for my Del Sol. Something without flake or metallic in it but with a lot of clear coats to give it depth and a unique shine. Right now I have a khaki and a grey color picked out but I'd love to hear of any other suggestions of all sorts-just have to be non metallic or flake paints. Here's the car now... (rear is being dropped to get rid of the reverse stagger illusion)



Here's some colors I like...

For my personal taste, those colors are too boring. I think you should go with a charcoal metallic.

That's what I'm going for though, suttle and calm.

how the hell can you drive that thing with it being that low and the tires sitting that far in the fenders?

White always looks clean and shines well...Then again so does black...

Meh it's not that low. I got decent clearance under neath the car. Front lip scrapes a bit but nothing serious. Tires are fine, I can fully crank and only rub a tiny bit.

Ive always liked this color and I think it'd look nice and simple but very clean on that car.

Mocha Metallic off Ridgelines/Pilots
