What's the best shade of Yellow?

I'm considering changing the color of my SE with the mariah mode 1 kit from factory beige to a nice yellow (mustang?) color. Trouble is, I've seen some killer shades and some baby-diaper/puke yellows as well.
Have any of you folks painted an FB yellow? What paint code/shade would look best?

I have seen a stock yellow. Didn't really care for it. I can't say I have seen an FB in yellow yet that I liked but I think the color I saw on a mitubishi GT 3000 was called lemon ice. I think that would look really good. It was a really light yellow that looked like it was almost frosted.

The 1993 FD Competition Yellow Mica looks nice.

Bingo! This is prolly by far the best yellow shade I've ever seen

On a side note... Ever notice there are no yellow WRX's? My friend showed me a brochure of a yellow WRX and that yellow seriously looked like ****!

Just kidding, but Competition Yellow Mica from FD RX-7 is pretty nice and would look awesome on a FB i guess.


Just my 2 cents

The Corvette Yellow looks pretty good. I think its called Competition Yellow too. The frosty yellow of the 3000GT looks like crap.....almost pale green. The WRX yellow looks almost orange.

yeah, it's competition yellow... Maybe Protege5's yellow, but not sure if it would look okay.

I would really stick on the FD yellow...seriously

I looked through color books at Lordco, and the Chevy "Competition Yellow" looks nice (off of Corvettes, etc" as well as a couple other ford colors (I'm assuming off the mustang and stuff)

Go to your local auto paint store, and check out their color catalogues, they'll give you a good idea of what color you want.

House of Kolor also makes some nice colors, you might want to check out their aftermarket catalogue too.
