Help me pick a color combo for my 79 Trans Am

[Akodo]

Ok, I plan to start stockpiling parts for my interior swap, figure it should be ready for install next spring. When I pull the old interior out, I'm going to take the car in and get it painted since the old paint is flaking off on the bottom due to long storage and improper prep. The red interior is hit, and I just DON'T like red. I will be saving all of the salvageable parts on the offhand chance I ever sell the car, I can send them along with it. Or sell them, of course.
It is NOT the original paint, though it IS the original color. The only problem is, Black has been done to death. I want my car to stand out, though of course ANY 2nd gen tends to stand out already.
So here are the options I am seriously considering.

Sunset Orange Metallic W/ Camel Tan interior

Deep Emerald Green W/ Black interior

Midnight Blue W/ Black Interior

Any of the above W/ Black/ Tan two-tone interior (Basically like my 4th Gen.)

Some pics of the color ideas:

And of course, a pic of the car in question, my 1979 Trans Am

I personally love blues... I think the right color bright blue would look drop dead gorgeous.




Here's a bright orange - not necessarily what you're looking for:

I've already given my input, I think black w/ Midnight Blue/NBM graphics/stripes/accents would look fantastic. Not to mention, it would save you a crap ton of money on repainting the whole car, and as you said, the paint isn't in bad shape as it is. I'll make a couple suggestions when I see the car this afternoon.

When you put green in the poll, I wasn't thrilled . . . but if you go for a green like the pic of the truck in your post, especially if you use a lot of clear to make the color really glossy and pop out . . . that would look really sharp and also unique. You don't see very many deep green cars from that time period.

EDIT: Here's a pic I found for a '79 painted in Nocturne Blue . . . this was a one-year-only color for the T/A, so it's a legit GM color . . . definitely has that deep green look to it. With a high gloss this could look really good.
