Well of course it's your choice, and you may have your preferences.

If you're looking to tip your hat toward mid century custom car paints, the metallic and candy greens would be authentic. Also purples were more common then.

When I was a wee lad a neighbor had a Hudson Hornet in this color, which I thought was the coolest.
