Default Color change, what color now?

Involved in minor accident, but paint is in bad shape on entire car. Insurance paid enough for full repaint through a family member's body shop. Door jams and visible areas only. Afraid of a major color change. Interior is black. What is best course of action? Pics of your vote would be awesome. Thanks.

I say do it Laguna out of those colors you listed, it's a very unique color and looks great on the S. Also this way if you ever buy an OEM accessory you can get them in Laguna. If you painted your S a non OEM color you would have to get everything painted every time you got something new. It's nice to get things like keyhole plugs, bumper plugs, tow cap covers, lips, spoilers, side strakes, hardtops, ect.. that are already the color you need.

Is there really that much of a difference between Laguna and Long Beach blue?

unless you can do an actual full repaint, id just stick with the stock color. Otherwise do the Laguna Blue
