well, i wouldn't really call any 4th gen f-body "rare", aside from a select few (LT4 firehawks for example). as far as the lesser-manufactured colors go, purple metallic is probably the one least made. i think it was only available in 98. also, yellow was available only in 93. there are other colors like sunset orange metallic, maple metallic, and hugger orange (camaro only) that weren't made in the same amounts as say silver, black, and red, but i wouldn't call them rare by any means.

if i were to paint my car, i'd probably have to go with electron blue (z06 corvette color from a few years back)

Both my cars are my favorite LS1 color, and the rarest color.

Well I believe it's the second most common color with red being the most popular, but Pewter Metallic is my favorite

I have two red Birds, but I do love the way a white Trans Am looks. Just something about the clean lines and nice clean white.

Black is always a favorite, but you can never go wrong with a white WS6.

i am gonna opt for a very glossy metallic black , and some kinda custom work (i wont give you any of my ideas , but just think along the lines of old meets modern, not in a gay retro way either)
