Default Cant decide on paint color

Hey everyone just wanted some opinions on what color would look good for my 97 accord, i am kinda debating between like a civic si blue, super bright white, or a gray kind of color. Ive gotten new rims for my car which are gun-metal color and i do plan on getting black housing headlights so i just want some opinions on which colors would match the best. Thanks

Go the local auto body / paint supply place...most times they will gladly give you last years's color chip book from the paint manufacturers. If they are douchebags, go online to the manufacturer website and order the sample book...only costs a few bucks (shipping) normally. Every time I've recommended this method, the person who does it finds a different color they REALLY like.

White is always a clean color, Blue does make a pop and turn heads

For an accord body and shape, I would recommend white or black. I've seen blue and other colors on it, it doesn't look right.

I agree white is one of my favorites although I think a touch of silver pearl... or something like this Cadillac has!
