BRIGHT PINK!!!

No for real its all based upon what your taste is...i personally dont like different body colors out of the norm...so i'd say try to match the color and re-paint it the same as the rest of your jeep...if not black or white always goes with any color

Rusty hoods seem to be the trend with the import guys.

Well you could go with the wonderful "bleach-stained khaki" tan that your Jeep was lucky to receive. Or, you could paint it one of the other lovely color options of the era: "Fecal Matter Brown," "I can't believe they put this color on a Jeep Teal," or perhaps "Forest (Service) Green." O flat black.
