ANY color can look good. it's all a matter of fitting the color with all of the other details on the car. rims, lights, emblems, and any other typr of accessories.

I wouldn't do flat white, it will NEVER come clean if you get so much as a dirty fingerprint after an oil change or something. There is a slight texture to it (thats what keeps it from being shiny) and that texture will absorb things like oily fingerprints or break dust if you happen to touch the car while your hands are dirty.
