Which color car wrap?

Can't decide which color to wrap my car. It's currently jet black but want something subtle but appealing.

Suggestions?

Matte Silver. Looks amazing. Matte black & matt white is too common.
If you don't like matte, how about Le mans blue?

I've seen a e46 M3 with a metallic looking blue before. Do you know which color that is?

Frozen Valencia Orange and the Candy Gray Metallic from http://www.1addicts.com/forums/showthread.php?t=732607 are great imo.

Relatively boring /= subtle yet appealing? You're gonna have to be a little more narrow I think.

It seems like it's not a big difference on the color scale compared to Jet Black.

FVO looks good but the grey has too much of an olive tint
