What do y’all think of these more muted and pastel colors for a 914?

Playing around with the visuals some and thinking either of these two vintage Mercedes colors could be handsome....

I am fully prepared for the slings and arrows that may be forthcoming for asking about Mercedes paint code so have at it.

AKA "Road colored". You disappear into the background in low visibility situations.

Not good in a 914. With how hard they are to see, I think they need to be a really bright color. Something that stands out and attracts attention.

Red
Yellow
Orange
Bright acid green
Purple

Something that can be seen easily in any light.
