so my car is finally getting a color change. its not a show quality job or anything but I would like to pick a nice color for her. I've given it some thought and I was gonna go with a dark blue, possibly a porsche color but someone pointed out that a dark color would hide the beautiful curves of the 6g celica. well, here I am back at square one, so let me know what you guys think.
I have until the end of the month to figure this out and come up with a color code. here are some colors I like and the direction I want to go in. I would prefer a color that comes stock on some car if at all possible, but if there is a code it can always be mixed I guess. here is how my car looks with all the exterior bits on (ss3 front, stock sides, hiro rear, trd wing)

I like the color on the ABFlug Supra a lot. It looks more blue, while the others have a bit of purpleness(Is that a word?)
If you're wanting a blue color, but a lighter blue, there are many brighter, lighter blues, such as that color that's on some of the older A4s. I like that color a lot. Then again, that color would attract a lot of attention I'd think...which is something I really wouldn't want at this point. -------------------- New Toyota project coming soon...

yes the Celica does looker better with lighter colors
if I had the money for a top quality color change I would go with Laguna Seca blue one of the stock colors for the BMW M3.

IMO the BMW is too light....a little feminine actually. I like the blue on the MR2. The shades you have selected Pete are relatively unique and would make the celica look great. I also think bronze wheels would look awsome with that color.

Not seein any MR2's. I've seen a Bimmer, an eclipse, a supra with an abflug kit, an s2000 and an Aristo. I love the S2k's color.

thanks for the replies guys I really appreciate it. I like the nogaro blue but its a bit too blue for my tastes. I think I've decided to go with innocent blue mica which is a mazda color. I saw a fd in that color in japan and I really liked its depth and ability to change in shade/sun. here is a picture:
