I'm stuck choosing a paint color for my '93 notchback. I love black, but also realize that black notchbacks are commonplace. I have noticed Toyota paints their Prius a beautiful blue color. So help me decide: Mustang black or Toyota blue?

I'll add that the car will have 17x9 silver Pony wheels.

Thanks!

It’s not on your list, but Toyota has a cool white called “wind chill pearl” and it looks really good in person.

The blue is a cool color. I’m not real partial to blue cars so I’m leaning towards black. Maybe do a less common type?
 
So tired of white, black, and shades of silver
Please paint any other color but.
Been grooving the cobalt blue lately

I'd say go outside the box so I vote blue. While we're on the topic of nice looking blue paint I've always thought the Mazda blue looked great. I might have to paint mine like this

My vote is blue. I have to throw this option in though.

I had a 93 ZX in this color. Also had to have it resprayed. Google searches just list it as Sapphire Blue. The paint guys said it was sapphire metallic blue pearl. It definitely has metallic in it and has a purple hue to it in the right light. I might paint one this color one day!

My favorite blue so far is BMW Midnight Blue. Very dark in dim light, then glows up when lighting is brighter. I've seen it in person and its very nice. If you're a lover of black and blue but cant decide, this is your color.

Great participation and colors guys. Thanks! Keep it coming.

Paint and body is next on my list once I receive and install the LMR 5 lug 4 wheel disc brake kit. I've been waiting for that thing for months.
