The Blue/Purple from the '01 Acura Integra. I painted my old EF Hatch this color and it looked pretty bada--. Its blue in daylight and turns to a bluish purple under artifical light.

The way I looked at it was, if you're going to spend that much money and get the whole car repainted, you gotta go with something unique. Why get the car painted a color that you see 50 times a day. That doesn't mean you have to get something crazy. There are plenty of unique color variations that are still subtle (if you're going for that low-key look) I personally prefer a color that does stand out, especially if you plan on showing the car, but whatever you want to do is up to you. DEFINITELY don't paint it silver or gray! Think about it, just about every car that's ever been manufactured has silver/gray as a color choice. It doesn't get any more blah, and less unique than that! Trust me, I know. My car used to be silver and getting it repainted was one of the best things I did.
