Help me choose a color for my '80

I only have 3 stipulations...

Not black (too much hassle to keep nice)
Not yellow (had too many yellow cars)
Not metallic

Other than that open to pretty much all suggestions.

I quite like deep colors, dark reds and purples etc. Photos would be good, and also what the specific color is called if possible.

Its going to have a hugger style front end, but thats not so important for some pics

Thanks,
David

Hey look into "light blue mettalic" I know you said non mettalic, but the factory light blue metallic is easy to spray because it is very light in color. It is a rare color because you never see it, it is paint code "21" for an 80-81 camaro. Its hard to even get pics of it on the net. Check it out its pretty cool.

For some cars there is a "color" where the "look" of the body is enhanced. IMO the Camaro body looks the best in late "Bright Blue".

Thanks, that blue does look nice

Krabben, what specific color is that?

This is also growing on me if I do end up with a metallic. The colour mine was originally before being plastered with yellow...
