Try an"off black". Ultimately, I may move toward a color I saw on a REAL 1936(?) Talbot Lago at Monterey Concours d' three years ago---it looked black, until you caught the sun "right", then it became a deep (and I mean DEEP) purple. Not too much blue, nor too much red. I'm shooting for a similar color. Deep blue-plus-burgundy-plus-black. Dare to be different but not strenously so. I agree that Blue has been "done", ditto, in my view, the wide stripes (but I like both). Personally, wild "chameleon" stuff and "ghost stripes" aren't my cup of tea. Im going for a "miles-deep" near-black---it gets the "double take" and it's stealthy. Cripes, if you've got a bellowing beast of a car---why double the impact? Some would say "why not? In for a penny..." I'd say, keep a deadly blade in a subtle sheath. A conformist I ain't. Hope this helps and/or stirs the pot.
