Default Painting my EG, torn between colors. Help??

Ok, so I stripped the car last night, all interior, carpet, etc. and I will be pulling the motor as soon as I circle all the unused holes in the bay so I can weld them up, grind them down and get the bay all prepped. I wire tucked the bay the best I could, looks pretty good, and I will not be doing a brake tuck, but the engine bay should still look good.

I love a white EG hatch, but I will NOT paint mine that color just because everyone does it. I had 3 colors in mind. The car was originally teal, and it would probably be easier to redo it teal which I do like, but I'm leaning towards the Paradise blue green pearl (bg-33p), and Anthracite Metallic (NH643M-A)

As soon as the car is painted, I'm going to be ordering some 15" rota j-spl's in either royal gunmetal or steel grey. The car wil have spoon style mirrors, and duckbill. Not sure if the moldings will be painted or not. What do you guys think??

Here's the Anthracite Metallic on an EF:



Here's the paradise green pearl on an s2k:

I think the gunmetal grey would be a good choice.

My painter came over tonight, and I was going to go with the grey, but I showed my wife my friends old bg33-p hatch, and she told me she wants NO other color on the car but that, so, paradise blue green pearl it is.
