Default Getting a Road Glide built, need color's

A guy is rebuilding a lay down '09 road glide for me. I am going to ad a few things, lowers mini apes (14" or so), beefed up stereo color match inner fairing ... Thing is I do not want another black bike. So I am trying to figure what color to go. I am leaning towards a metallic silver, but I am open to suggestions.
Show me your thoughts..............and......................... ....go!

Personal choice...but I've always been a fan of metallic dark reds. Crimson Red Sunglo was the best HD red ever in my book.

aftermarket you can get any color your heart desires. Go for unique. Go look at some paint chips. Another thought is look at nail polish to see what color speaks to you.

That aside, how about a dark blue green metallic.

Rough idea google "pms 328" it's a pantone color. Do that and add a blue metallic flake. No chunky "hard candy" kind of flake though Or what I call stripper glitter. That would be so effin gorgeous.
