What color paint job?

I am planning to have a paint job done on my FD probably this coming month, and I want a very outstanding blue color or something really eye catching. (no red, yellow, or white) other than those what colors should i get? Or any one has some nice reference on paint job colors? I really wanted my FD to be painted blue, with the GT concept kit. So if any1 have any suggestions, I am very willing to listen. Thanks.

Toyota spectra blue:





Excuse any roughness in the clear in that pic, it was before any wetsanding. It actually came out a bit lighter than I had expected, but I like it. And it's not finished yet, so sorry I don't have any pics of the car together.

FYI, I am shooting with Lesonal paints and I have been very impressed with them. Lays down and covers very similar to sikkens, but at a much reduced price because you aren't paying for the management classes and such that come with the sikkens price tag.

Psycho Silver is sweet if you want it to stick out. STI Blue is the best shade of blue though.

Yep, that's a pic of my car after I waxed and polished it. Most of the time the color is dark like in the first pic, but when it's in direct sunlight it's a little lighter and you get to see the pearl. It's a real nice color that took me a while to find.

Silver is pretty hard to get to look dirty. I have a silver volvo, even if its filthy up close, it looks clean from a distance
