Default What color to paint car?

I have a 95 DX coupe. still on the stock black paint its pretty sun burned and needs to be painted over. I kinda want to move away from black as its hard to keep clean and shows even the slightest imperfection. a really nice color I wanted to try was Candy apple red here are some pics




despite the ricer fruity name it is a very nice color but after some research I found out that its hard and expensive to acheive this particular color. and it cant be blended if a small section needs to be repainted i.e minor accident. are there any other colors that you think looks just as good? or should I just go back to black?

yeah right after making the thread I found that it cost about 1k for just the materials to do this. I concluded that its not worth it for a daily driver.
