if you're considering bright orange, lime green, or bright yellow, why not go for hot pink?
Even better, combine it all into a rainbow!

I like the idea of orange myself -- but be prepared for a resale value approaching zero once you've done it.

I painted the roll cage in my race car OSHA Safety Orange, and the window net bars and roof mounts are OSHA Safety Yellow. The value of an obnoxiously colored car basically does make it zero as stated earlier, so if you're concerned about that I'd go with the silver, otherwise orange.

I don't know - bright orange looks good on some cars (for example, Bricklin SV-1 or Subaru 360) but not on most, and that car fits in with the most crowd. Of the colors you chose, silver is probably the best, but a car like this really should be painted a cooler color, not something screamingly bright.
