What colour to repaint my SLK?

[KFC]

My SLK 350 was smashed up pretty badly in a crash (no injuries thankfully).

Pretty much half of the car is going to need repainting... so I'm considering just having it all done a completely new colour. What colour would you go with? It is/was black already.

Considering white or red... but a bit of me really wants to go lime green or orange!

Check out some of the later TVR colours, flip and reflex stylee... Reflex Charcoal in particular is stunning (IMHO)...

I think parking dings are inevitable out here - would a reflex colour like that be hard/impossible to touch up if there was any minor damage to it? That would probably be a deal breaker if that was the case.

Also I'm not looking to spend a massive amount on it (I'm going try and get the insurance to pay for the full respray) so probably only going to be able to go a 'normal' colour if it costs a lot more.
