What color for the FSJ

My 66 truck is BMW Merlot, my wife's 86 CJ7 was Mica Red Pearl, my 77 wagoneer was factory (Indian?) Red.

What's the best color (stock, or custom) you've seen on an FSJ?

I think the new orange or light blue color the 2011 JKs have would look badass

I like canary yellow. A very light pastel green if done right is good also. The kind of green some jeep ads from the early '60s show them in.

I'm partial to Fairway Green Poly (metallic) with wood paneling. Early-mid-70s color.

My fav for an older J truck is that bluish/green color. I know a couple of guys on here have it but not sure who now.

Fav for a newer J truck would have to been the mid 70's metallic blue.

Wags are hands down Spinaker Blue. But a deep green will work for a consolation prize.

I'm not a big fan of newer colors on an old Jeep, just don't look right no matter how nicely done.
