^your car sold me on the Charcoal, now you hate em, oh well.
Black is a tough color, I had both white and silver and both stood out way too much. I think my light charcoal metallic stripes are perfect, its subtle, but still noticable. You can ask fourth circle designs to make you this custom color. If your not into the charcoal, then maybe a light or dark gold would look good.

Depending on what other accent colors you have on your car, any dark variation would look good....such as a dark silver(gray), or a dark red(maroon). I think you basically don't want it to constrast too much...you almost don't want it noticeable from a distance, but something that catches your eye up close
