Color Combos

So I wanna repaint my 83 trans am from the stock red to either a black or a burnt orange.
What do you think of these ideas?

Option 1: Everything jet black

Option 2: Jet black with gold bird and pinstripes and gold decals

Option 3: Burnt orange with black handles, mirror, spoiler,
headlight pockets and front bumper grills, black decals

Option 4: All burnt orange with no decals, and black handles.

Option 5: Color scheme of your own (please describe)

Black and gold is nice, but I'm debating about a new color scheme for my bird in the future (just posted asking for advice actually) I'm thinking about maroon with gold gfx, or all maroon...Here's a pic of what black with gold gfx looks like though

I'd go with that but also paint the lower half of the body (like it is now) black.
