Default What color should I paint my XJ?

Just wondering if any of you have seen any great custom colors for XJs. I was going to just paint it black, but I'm worried that might be a bit hot in the summer. Then I thought I might paint it a wild color like blue, etc. since it can really be any color since I'm getting it painted. I've got the black Cragar steel wheels.

Got any links to an XJ that struck you as looking really good?

if you want wild go hot pink or a flashy purple color...and flames would make a pretty big statement.

I like Ranger, or sage green better than OD. The lighter the shade, the better, in my book. Or desert tan.

I'm thinking about doing Deep Blue or Jet Black from Duplicolor's new Paint Shop line:

http://www.duplicolor.com/products/paintshop.html

Seems like a nice way of doing a quality paint job from primer to clear coat.
