Well, there are many ways to determine the color to paint. One, for what purposes to standout, color scheme matching, hide car flaws, other parts that determine the car color, body work is awful, etc. In general red or black are good choices. For me, I would pick red to look sporty as this color is friendly in matching rims especially. Black, also, is great too as it looks wicked yet clean depending on the body work. Now, it can get technical if color decision is also based on other factors such as, my friend already has that color, it gets dirtier faster than other colors, or I am planning on getting certain rims, or my interior is already a certain color. The bottom line for me, is what color is simple yet stylish, colormatch-friendly, custom paint is not maintenance friendly unless you have extra for touchups, and last, if I won't get tired of it fast. Sorry I most likely confused you even more.
