Default repainting my car: which pearl should I go with?

this will be a custom paint job. Right now, I have black with kandy apple red pin stripes like steve2000SS's car. My intake, valve covers, tb, and frc's have kandy apple red too. I love the kandy, but the black has got to go soon. It shows EVERYTHING. Which pearl would you go with? I have camel interior so it would look weird at first with any of these paints, but I'm switching to black. I would also mask off the engine bay and spray everywhere were I see black except the chasis.

thanks,

oh, and I was thinking of doing something like chip foose would...two tone.

I honestly was thinking of a purple pearl. It would def. be diff. I could do a two-tone with purple pearl and that custom mixed blue gray. Just an idea.

Awesome color, but wouldn't go great with the kandy red IMO.

Blue for the win.
