I have a black ERA and I love the color. If it were not for the new chemical
products like Klasse I might have issues with the color but with these new
products you can polish the whole car in an hour with minimal effort and get
spectacular results with no streaks or swirl marks. No buffers or heavy
polishing, just medium to light pressure with micro fiber towels. If we were
back in the wax days I might learn to hate black...not now! Go ahead and go
black if that floats your boat.
Even if painted camouflage, if a Cobra is "blending in" with it's surroundings you are doing it wrong.
I think the street cars look best when painted a DARK color - shows the lines and flow much better.
I'll disagree. Metallic or non-metallic, green just blends in with the trees and shrubs. Why not show pics of each color on a lawn or in a park-like setting, as if it were your typical car show?
And I'll also agree with "rb moore" above, resale will be rougher. Ultimately, it's your choice.
Better green now? BTW, like a lot of men I'm partial red/green color blind, so this is difficult for me (: Besides, all monitors show color differently. I'm actually using a calibrated monitor which shows things MUCH darker than they do on other monitors I use at work, and on personal devices.
I use a Datacolor Spyder Pro to calibrate our monitors. We use them for photo editing so calibration is critical, as it is for other applications such as architecture, interior design, etc. Affordable and highly recommended. Datacolor Imaging Solutions - The World Leader in Color Innovation
Not being a computer expert of any kind, how are you changing the colors on the car? Is this something I can do on my computer!
I'd love to see one with Flag Blue Metallic.

Thanks all for the opinions. My intent is not to have anybody agree with me. I like all 3 and I would struggle to choose if I were building a new car. Trying to figure out what the public prefers is helpful to me for various reasons. That being said, these cars always look much better in the "flesh" than they do in a photo. As for green, I love green on certain cars and realize some consider it a deal breaker. Same goes for black. That's why we don't have just one color available. Everybody has their preferences and there is nothing wrong with that. Please keep the votes coming if you haven't chosen your favorite yet.
