Default Paint colors

I am about to paint my 84 stepside, and I am looking on opinions for colors. Red looks great on these but is far too common for my taste. I was thinking copper metallic or gunmetal grey. I like black as well but it is too high maintenance in my opinion. Please post a pic of you truck so I can see different paint colors. Also I am going to color match the grille and bumpers.

Dark green like the Warlock.

Flat black makes everything look like a beater.

Here's lime green. Originally screwed this truck together for street/strip duty. Instead of copper how about Tangelo Pearl? Agreed on the red,but I sure like the red of the new Dodge PUs. Flame Red metallic? Anything but blue.

I've gone round and round on mine. I was going GTX purple with black hood, or RoadRunner orange crate, but I saw a Peterbilt that was lime green with black trim that I really like.
Basically, do what YOU like. You're going to be driving it.
