Depends...do you prefer something "stealth" or "loud"?

Well, if I were to personally get a custom color, I'd get a real dark metallic blue or gray (darker than SS).

I would get a black or deep-deep-deep-blue base coat, with gold and/or silver flake... like a charcoal metallic or deep ocean blue metallic.

I like having a black car, but it would look so friggin sweet if it had some metallic flakes...

I like the idea of some form of dark blue base coat... that would be sweet!! something similar to the carbon black color or BMW but with more blue flakes.

This is like saying you're going out for ice cream at 31 Billion Flavors and want to know what flavor ice cream you should get. You eliminated orange and yellow, but I'm sure you've seen various colors (that is, unless you're completely colorblind to all colors), so what color do you like?

A least a range like... "something in a dark blue" so people can name manuf. paint colors like... "the Z blue" or <insert picture of some other blue car> etc.

I'm just getting suggestions, but I am personally leaning towards blue or red.

Are you looking into a color that's "Fast and Furious"? hehehe is that the reason for the color change?

Want to try gold with gold flakes since your car is a show car and a track car?

Naw, my friend messed up my fenders a bit at the last track event and I decided to do a color change while I am painting that and everything else.

If u want something that will catch eyes, but not cops; then u should do my personal favorite and that would be Kameleon. Its the best of every color. Or if ur not that into the rainbow do a flip flop, u know like the old mystic cobra's. It will definitely be different. Thats what I want to do one day if my car's paint gets or goes bad. I doubt it, due to the way I keep my cars. But its just a hope(a expensive hope none the less). Good Luck RickDogg!
