Default What color should i paint my xj?

So I finished soon my front clip swap from a 98 on to my 96. Looks pretty nice. What color should I paint it. My dad saiid for the sake of the title we should stick to a green. So let's here what you all have to say. Here are some pix Btw today was my senior prom so the last photo is of my in my penguin suit with my XJ photo bombing the picture lol.

same here i like the green color of my jeep. i just don't want to have some crappy paint job on my rig. like the ones where you can see the orange peel in the pint and over spray on the trim. and i would have done the clip before i had put it on but i didnt have time because i am really busy this week as it is exam time and i love having no dents. but the whole rig needs a new paint job. i was thinking like a sexy two tone. but my problem is i really like the purple/blue color that the front is painted. but i am going with green for sure. maybe like a military OD green on the hood, roof and rear hatch and the sides the factory green my xj came painted as. i thinkk it is hunter green or forest green. what do you guys think?

Only thing with olive green that I don't like is every one does it. I would do something a little less common.
