Exclamation So many colors!

I'm getting close to getting my new paint job. All I have to do is chose a color. I wanted to get a current BMW color, but what to chose? I've found a nice list of colors:

http://www.cardata.com/spoilers/Car_...aint_codes.htm

I like the grey metallic so far.

The Interior of my ti is Black, Light Grey, and I have Dark Purple Leather seats w/ matching door panels (not the whole panel). I think that would match pretty nice. I don't want to do black again due to the fact that a lot of peeps have black, but also, it's hard to keep clean out here in Arizona.

Any thoughts?

Yeah, too much purple for me. I'm contemplating on changing the interior, but haven't because I think it is unique. I'll post some pics later today after work.

Just a side point. Does anyone here think that I could get away with dying my leather seats, eventhough they are that dark purple color? Just a thought.
