    I think you need to choose the colour yourself, considering the bottom of the car is going to be silver YOU need a colour that is going to best suit YOU and given the choice I would choose a modern colour that will no doubt be UNIQUE to a VL calais, because the most common colours back in '86-'88 were burgundy, blue, fawn (tan/gold) and white. so as I am aware YOU have a HARD choice to make.
    Good luck! and I hope you like your choice.

    p.s. purple is fine if urgay.

    please dont spray it pink, its kind of queer and over used!

    A nice glossy black or a dark orange is my pick.

    Well in first place is a nice superman blue to match the bluey green interior but black is always nice or a light / dark grey.
    Purple was on the cards but...

    Pics anyone for reference

    Keep the pics coming. What colours look bad on VL's. For me yellow just makes it look like a taxi. FAIL

    Personally, I love the black, in the end though it comes down to what your taste is and what suits you best.
