Default Stuck at a crossroad

So i'm in the process of finishing my k3s pointy and i'm torn on how to paint it, as it is the tank and tail are copper whilst the nose and lower fairings are black, i want to spray them all one colour and the frame black to give it a nicer matching look but i'm torn on which colour to go for...

My top choices (Sorry you're gonna have to google the colours i'm posting this from mobile):

Midnight Blue Pearl
Matte Black
Satin Black
Gloss Black
Metallic Gloss Black
Candy Grand Blue (The stock blue)
Pearl Deep Blue

I'm really torn and i want second opinions so i make the right decision Thanks for input!

Ford's blues are definitely good.

Black shows every mark and showd up.dust and dirt badly.
Fine for a frame though

Deep Impact Blue is I think what Ford call that colour. And yes I agree, it is very nice if it is well prepped and waxed - looks almost liquid.

If it was me I'd be painting it a colour you just don't see on any SV.
I don't see the point of paying for a full respray in a standard colour.
A pale green or 70s purple...?

Love that colour. Goes great with the silver frame.

Bright orange looks really nice with a black frame. Someone on here has one.

I like the fact there aren't many Green SV650s around as it wasn't one of the factory colours methinks?
It makes the bike look really mean to me and suits the frame as you say.A bit Military but I like that.
