You might want to consider the fact that red is the most expensive color of all when it comes to paint.

Exterior colors choices vary widely with interior shade too...

Black and gray interiors fits almost any but red or blue will be kind of wierd with yellow, polo green or black rose exterior!

I struggled with this same problem for my 85' factory color was black but then some retarded previous owner painted it purple and did a hack job so now I will strip it down and repaint completly. The best color imo is GM lazer blue, this is the color I am going with, I have owned silver,red,black and I can say silver is a low matinance color since it hides dirt and scratches more and black is a srtaight nightmare but the final decision will be yours good luck.
