If YOU like the color and the car, that's all that really matters if you are going to keep it. Resale wise, it will take a significant hit vs a popular color or the all important red!. My 68 Firebird conv. was Nightshade Green, an almost gray green, with an ivy gold interior. Car was near perfect. Took me over a year to sell it and Dana Mecum looked at the car and told me if it would have been red with a black or parchment interior, it would have brought 10K more and sold instantly. Take that for what it's worth from a guy who sells thousands of collector cars. Not a big red fan myself, but weird colors like that Skylark limits the market for sure.
