Guardsman Blue is my favorite of the 'normal' colors, especially with a white stripe or moustache... unfortunately there are soooo many Cobras and Daytonas in similar shades of blue.
Red, to me, is for F-cars, tri-five Chebbies, and vintage 'Vettes...
British racing green with yellow 'stache looks awesome, but I have that scheme mentally reserved for Lotuses (Loti?), Jags, and all.
Essex Wire scheme looks great, business-like and race-ready...
Silvers and tungstens really highlight the curves of the GT, and they are certainly the "grown-up" look, but when there is a non-metallic (like yellow) stripe or 'stache, it never looks right to me. It always looks like someone took a nice silver no-stripe car and went at it with the spray gun. When the stripes are also metallic (like on tungsten FGTs) then it blends and looks 'right' to me.
Flat colors, like yellow, white, or Gulf blue, de-emphasize the curves, but make the car look smaller, stubbier, and somehow "younger" (to me, anyway). Festive colors on a burly car somehow works for me (think lime green 'Cuda convertible!).
I saw a pic once of a darker, non-metallic, almost "Sunoco" blue GT with an orange 'stache. How about Sunoco blue with yellow 'stache... sort of like a Blue Angels jet?
For me, I think it's going to be Gulf. In a crowded field of crazy cars, my eye has always sought the baby-blue and orange ones, since I was a kid picking out Corgis and Matchboxes. So I guess it is my fate, and there's no sense denying it!
