Opinions on colour change

As my car will have been on the road 9 years next month and the paintwork's looking a bit mismatched and tired im thinking of respraying it over winter, problem is do i change the colour?

I dont want to repaint the chassis, suspension and roll bar so that has to stay blue so what would contrast the blue well? i can only come up with yellow or white, what would you do?

As it is now in yellow

orange and black arches. The blue cage will just make it look racey.

Gulf colours? hmmmm, might look a bit cheesy on a 7, though i know there is one kicking around and it doesnt look too bad IMO.

White looks good, but the picture above still shows reflection for yellow so doesnt give a true good picture.

Without sounding daft what about painting it blue? darker or lighter shade to rollbar would potentially look good.

I reckon silver or gunmetal with the blue will look good.

The yellow and blue is great - why change - and it will be safer on the road too.
