What is the most desirable paint and trim colour combo?

I have been wondering for a while what everyones thoughts are on the desirability of paint and trim colour - what is in your opinion the top 3 most desirable combos? 
 
Here are mine:
 
1: Wild violet with either black or white trim
2: Vermillion fire with either black or white trim
3: Lime glaze with either black or white trim
 
 
what are some of the other factors that influence a capri's desirability?

    If you are building it to sell then it's original colour is most desirable, if you are building it to keep then the colour combo you like best is what you go with, ask 20 people what they think and you will get 20 different answers, for me it's Grecian Gold white interior

    Interesting point of view GTv6. I am not building my capri to sell, was just curious if prices and desirability are affected by colour and trim combo's as much as the GT falcons are. Being relativly new to the capri scene I have only seen a handful of the different colour combinations and am curious to see what else is out there.

    I saw a white mk1 at SFS a couple of years back, had a red interior. To me that looked spot on.
    I thought I had a picture of it, but can't find it just now.

    My favourite is Orange with light saddle trim with cloth inserts, but I could be a bit biased.

    I've not seen too many with red interiors, and white with red interior sounds good to me too. I'm also interested to see Spud's pewter capri finished with red interior, as I think that would look good.

    Yes the pewter / red interior will be intersting - if only b/c ive never seen one before. But picked this one up - its Candy apple red (paint code G) with a saddle interior. I haven.t seen one for years but looks v nice

    The most common comment I get about my Capri is " Is that an original colour". I havnt seen another Teal glow / saddle combination except for mine -  works well for me :-)
