As stated by groupw you should buy the one that you like the best. Whichever colour speaks to your idea of what your bike should be, that is the one to go with. I would not worry too much about future trade or resale values as both bikes will do ok.

I know how you feel! I haven't purchased one yet only due to the fact that I CAN'T decide on which color to go with. I'm debating over the two-tone red and the Daytona Blue!?

I like Gray, orange draws too much attention.

Stay with one of your two color choices. Do not get the Charcoal Pearl over Vivid Black.

Go grey, you don't see that combo as much.

Definitely the double gray! Harley's best color combo EVER, IMHO!

Less likely to get sick of monochromatic or conservative colors.
