Default Which color?

Ok So I'm going to be painting my car an extreme color this summer as it will be strictly a show/strip/autox car and not a DD. I've limited the colors down to these two. Just having a tough time figuring out which one Bash me if you want, but tis what I want not you. My car has some crappy custom blue/black pearl paint job on it that no one let cure nor was it ever polished after it was finished. So here are the two colors

Nassau Blue (bright blue metallic according to all paint code guides)


This is a lambo color called Viola Ophelia (or the color of Bam Margera's Gallardo even tho it's a Murcielago color)
Here is the only pic I could find of it on a Murci, I've seen it in person and it's an awesome pearl paint color.

Like I said I want something wild. This isn't going to be a DD, it's gonna be my strip/autox/car show car. I'm retarded like that. If I wanted something boring I would stick with the crappy paint job I have now.

Not really I'm pretty much set on either one of those colors. I've had a red car and want to do something new. Only other color I've really considered is the old Rally Green color that came on 1st gen camaros with some metallic flakes.
