Considering I would prefer the original color on my midyear, if I had one, and my favorite color on Vettes is white…

Nice looking car and color! Paint it with the color you like best, unless you plan on selling it, then paint it white.
Is that pic taken in St. Ignace?

Re: What color to PAINT (yellow 72)
I'd paint it the color you want :yesnod:
You may want to check out the Nassau blue used on 1998-2000 C5s, it's similar to LeMans blue, but a bit brighter.

IF you have a BB style hood, like I do, well...MY idea is when my car needs repainting...I plan on blending that hood shape into the centerpiece of a SR71 blackbird that the shape resembles....and ghost in black the wings/engines.....in a super dark blue top section, then follow the plan of the Mako Shark show cars...fade to white on bottom....

I would go back to White! A good quality white paint job with that interior on a Midyear Corvette would look awesome!! :cool:
