Default Re: Paint color , will wrong color hurt the value

I really like Cortez silver on a Nova, but I think that color needs a black vinyl roof to set it off.
A short story about color, I was at the Bowtie Bash car show a few years ago, abd I was parked next to Andy Keyser. Andy's modified 66 Nova was painted a bright aqua solid color that he liked to call Smurf butt blue. Best viewed with sunglasses. A photographer from Chevy High Performance magazine showed up and asked me where Andy was, he wanted to shoot pictures for a magazine feature. I said, Hey! What's wrong with my car. It's a 69 SS396 Nova, stock Fathom green. He said that the color would not look good in the magazine, too dark. So Andy's car did appear in CHP magazine, and the next time I got to chose a color for one of my Novas, I picked bright orange.
