Default Unexpected Paint

Hi Guys
Have not been on here in a while but could us a little advice , back in May my 69 was rear ended didn't look like much but turned out to needing frame pulled and rears adjusted took it to a shop in PA that does beautiful work. The car needed to have complete rear painted and blended into doors since the car was far from perfect I decided to paint complete car .
This is where I need help the body work is all done and now I have to pick a color I was thinking Hugger with black hockey strip ?
Thoughts
Black Convertible top / black white hounds tooth interior
Thanks for input

Something like this scheme then. Of course blue is all that, but if you're hooked on hugger, then go for it.
Orange is down in the middle of my likes list, but it's your car so you gotta go with whatever floats your boat. What color do you like looking at?

I painted this 69 the original Garnett Red with the hockey stripe, I painted the stripe then cleared over the whole car.

If you like orange, this color is awesome, it is House Of Kolor Tangelo, Pearl Base coat, clear coat. It has a gold pearl effect that is super vibrant out in the sunlight, of course pictures don't do the color justice but will give you an idea. I painted this right before Christmas and gave it to my daughter and her husband for Christmas.

As Flat Tire suggests, Corvette Bronze is nice.
