Need help picking color for my 86.

I am about to send my 86 to the paint shop. Give me your choice for the best looking color on a 86.

I will check the replies and the most popular choice will be the color I paint the car.

I painted mine ford B7, Zinc Yellow seen on late model Mustangs. Yellow has always been my favorite color, but I have held off on painting one of my cars in it because of my Dad's old yellow Ford Pinto left emotional scars on me as a kid (it really stunk like exhaust gas).

What is YOUR favorite color?

If I didn't do mine yellow I would have chosen metallic charcoal (dark dark gray, almost black).

need you to answer a couple questions?
1. what color was it before?
2. how much are you willing to strip the car (the old paint is everywhere)?
3. how much are you going to spend on a paint job(limits colors and different types of paint jobs)?

If I was going to go all the way I'd paint my car gun metal grey or gunmetal blue with black or blue interior?

I'd say white with blue pearl. If you get it baby blue there will be hell to pay. Hell.

I say it also depends how the paint job is done.

I want the red TurboII that I'm getting to be shiny silver but since I don't have the funds to get the engine bay painted, I'd just decided to repaint it red again since the old paint is fading.

Besides, red is still a color I don't mind having...
