Default What color to paint

I'm wanting to repaint my truck either Viper Steel Grey or Sunset Orange Metallic. I'm not certain yet that I'm going to paint it one of those colors. Do you guys have any suggestions for a color that looks good and no one really has.

Chevy has a new color I saw it on an Equinox or some crap but it's called Laser Blue Metallic. It looked AWESOME in person!!! Doesn't look like anything special on the Chevy website pics though.
Otherwise SOM of course

steel gray seems to be getting more and more popular, atleast once a month I get emails/PMs from people asking me to get them the color code

I think it would look pretty nice, have you thought about a custom color?

Good luck
