Default New paint color?? Pic ideas please

I am taking the bike apart tonight, to get the repairs done to it where I dropped it a couple months back, I am doing the 21 inch front and blacking the fork tubes and triples, and just few new black items. Well the tank and the rear fender has to be painted so thinking about new color direction with the bike. It is black cherry right now and I do love the color, but I want a new bike and can't afford that right now so thought the next best thing mite be a new color on it make it like a new bike. I was thinking about pearl white, but have not seen to many this color or a deep pearl blue. So if anybody has good pics of a white Dyna mostly blacked that would be great.

It's not gonna be a total black out, will still have some chrome on it, but lots of black accents, trying to find a white pearl that has a green and possible purple pearl in. You just done see many if any white Dynas so I think it will stand out from the pack.

I like the white with a thin black pinstripe on the fenders and tank. No logo. White walls................cool.

if you go white you would hae to realllllly go dark on the bike
white really shows different shades so the flat black, wrinkle black, silver, chrome, gloss black, satin black that is on your bike now... would have to get a bit more uniform... i try to keep all my builds to 2 main colors and an accent color. keeps them clean, the rule of 3... white really shows different shades! just a tip

My thoughts are pearl white (tank, fenders, headlight bucket, air cleaner lid and horn) gloss black all engine covers, fork lowers, triples, and add black upper fork covers, do the rocker covers in top black and lowers in chrome, strut covers black and shocks black, with a few chrome parts to break it up some. Black big shots chrome tips,
The main thing that wold have to stay chrome for now would be the chrome spoke wheels. And probley the drag bars, With all black controls levers and mirrors.. Thoughts??
I only have about 30 days to get it apart and back together this time around, have a Ralley in NC at the dragons tail 2nd week of September, So it mite not get done all at once, but gonna try to get as much as possible done.
