Opinions wanted in here

I wanted to repaint my car, and was planning on doing it in the spring, but I was hit by an un-insured driver, and my rates would go up more than I'd get if I were to file with my insurance company, so I'm looking to have it repainted sooner, so I have to kick finding a color into high gear. I'm open to any suggestions. Here is a pic of my car

I love it as is....

I personally have to say I love the blue it currently is. That vehicle with fresh base coat & todays clear coats would look killer.

actually, the only colors I dont want, are what it is now, since it looks quite purple in person, and black, because it would be too hard to keep clean on a daily driver. We had a black 77 trans am, and we spent more time cleaning than driving
