Ha ha, for me, how sweet

Pearl white wouldn't work on an older car with black/grey trim. If it was older again, with chrome trim it "could" work, but still wouldn't be very nice IMO.
If you want to change the color I'd say go for a factory color, atlas grey, oak green, the same blue as Dave/stigs, black, red. At least this way it won't be a "trend" color that you may regret at some point.
