Best OEM Honda colors are Aztec Green from a 92-93 gsr and Midori green. I'd save your money and lower your car and get some better wheels but that's just me.

Getting a car painted the right way costs 3-5 grand easy. Bodywork, prep work, labor, paint supplies etc. Are you gonna get the motor pulled and paint the bay? Jams? Get the glass pulled before paint? Either go all out or don't do it. Shitty paint isn't worth your time or money.

paint is all about what you like, unless you're planning on selling it anytime soon. Just paint it what color you think looks best on your 4-door. I am gonna be painting mine soon and I've been looking thru this thread: https://honda-tech.com/forums/showth...2238014&page=5 to see what different colors look best with different wheels, cf hoods, lips, etc.
