It 100% depends on the interior color.

If you have a black interior - then midnight blue, dark dark red, or medium to deep yellow.

Otherwise - you'll want to match your interior or go with a complimentary color to your interior.

If I were painting mine it would be either black or gunmetal, definitely not silver.

interior is maroon, car is now maroon, its gonna get painted with my street ported 89-91 engine install, last Black RX i had had a maroon interior, it looked good to me, and this maroon interior is really clean so i think black would compliment it very nicely

Black with Maroon interior was very common, but not my favorite. Reminds me too much of a jewelry box. With maroon, I'd go with a light color exterior.

My vote would also be the Pearl White mentioned earlier. In fact, thats MY plan for my '85 SE I'm restoring that also has Maroon interior.
