If you do pink, you should probably paint it like this

But have it be japanese cuts of Wagyu or Kobe or something

How close is Kubota Orange to Sunkist Orange? Is resale a factor at all? If so, orange may limit your buyer pool?

Sunkist orange

Orange. If you need a paint code, look up Lotus chrome orange. I love that color.

Its officially down to orange and blue.

Resale isn't too much of a factor here. No matter what, Its a 3500 dollar car tops due to salvage title and base model.

Despite being a California car with fresh top and 89k, its deep into cheap beater territory due to it. And the current multicolored paint job and body damage repair needed.

yellow/orange would be the way I'd go. As visible as yellow but better looking

I vote Orange (especially "Chrome" orange) and ditching that "Appearance" package since it looks like poo, IMO.

Or at least lose the side skirts that like to hold water and contribute to rust. The airdam is sorta useful and can be "hidden" with semi-gloss black.

I also like certain shades of blue, but that can still make the car hard to see, unless you go with a very bright blue.

Orange, lose the tupperware

If someone did not want to buy your Miata because it is orange, you should not be selling it to them anyway.

Im adding the Tupperware. I love it.

At this point in the evening, petty blue is winning with me and the wife. Munchkin and buddies voted orange.

Really can't go wrong either way.

What color is the interior? I'd prefer black with both blue and orange, but blue is better than orange for tan interior to me.

My favorite color. Though my NC is silver (invisible) so I always drive with my lights on. I'll be adding some reflective tape to the back of mine today... will have to post pics.

I've always been a fan of the old Neon color Lapis Blue:

Or what about BMW Marina Blue? Looks awesome in person:

Recent Kia Picantos are available in a light blue that's similar to Gulf oil blue, it's a nice color:

Nah...

Orange is the answer for the answer -- you don't need to park some foxy-hotness in front of it to make it look better!
