Default Repainting my Ram

I have a 99 ram 1500 360 4x4 with 120,000 miles and it just started to get the infamous fender rot, i live in western PA so it does see winter and salt so there is no shame in it just starting now. Im thinking of getting it repainted. I have a good friend who restores classic cars for spare cash and he offered to paint it for me for Materials and beer. im thinking of going two-tone. Any suggestions on color, its white if the picture doesnt appear. I was thinking silver or blue with a metal flake in it.

the picture was taken the day i bought it, so there isnt any rust in that picture. Also i plan on removing the body kit, running boards before it gets painted. The fender flares are what made it rust out in the first place

i like that orange, i wanted to keep it all white, but my buddy said white is almost impossible to match perfectly especially in an 11 year old truck so he recommended 2 tone instead.

I don't get it, if he is repainting the whole truck what would he need to match?
