Default Best color for the 2nd gen GS

I have been trying to decide which color would look the best with 20" chrome rims, lowered, and kit.
I want there to be enough contrast between the wheels and the paint.
But I think colors that are too dark are hard to keep looking clean.
I was thinking about maybe Gold, but I am having trouble visualizing this. What do you all think? Which color?

Now if you are asking me about colors to choose from with chrome I would say blue


but blk with chrome is another great combo..


but you can't go wrong with chrome on silver either.

Spectra Blue is by far the best color on the 2nd Gen... Especially with heavy chrome wheels. Other than that, it would have to be black.

Honestly you cant go wrong with any color on the 2GS. For that bling contrast, blue and chrome gets my vote.

Man, these cars look good in almost every color. But I think I have narrowed it down to gold, blue, or green. Here are some more colors to add to the thread.
Brownish~
