Default What color paint

What color should I paint my four door accord. My friend that painted my 2 dr accord is offering me a steal on fixing my rust and then painting the car whatever color I want.

Possible options:
Fiji blue(would be kinda cool to have two the same color)
Super Marine blue pearl
Championship white
Some sort of black

But I'm open to other options.

Want it to be somewhat subtle, and paints like that cost a lot. Did think of maybe the red off the del sol.
