Best color is the original color. I have 4 FBs in Misty Blue, Red, Silver, Silver and a red REPU. Each will get repainted as original. Once you get it nicely painted and polished you will love the color.

I'm tired of grey, black, white.
I say go with Blue, it is not very common with Rx-7's. But, I would only do blue if the interior is a blue or grey one. Don't paint blue if you have a maron interior, that would be weird looking.
But, definitely don't go with black, dust always shows up super quick and there are too many Rx-7's with black. I would recommend heavy metalic blue, dust seems to take a while to show up with it.

I like Sunbeam silver (not white) for a stock color and it does not show dirt too much. If you are going to all the extra work of changing colors you may as well not limit your choice to just the stock ones. [img of purple car supressed] You could also change the shade slightly or make it metallic.

Just polish it down to bare metal, fix all the welding and seam blemishes, and wax the **** out of it! 
Just kidding. Seriously, what's it matter what we think? It's your car, what color do you like the best? We've all got different colors on our cars. Some of us love them as they are, while others (like you and myself) are obviously torn between a stock repaint, and a new color. Either way, it's you who has to live with your final decision...
So pick BLUE!
