In the case of my car... well, there is nothing really worse than 1978
Russet Brown - now a nice Damask red. Not an option for my year though.
Personally, I think you should go with what makes you happy. Certainly
spending a lot of money / time on a paint job to get a color that you're
not too swift about doesn't make much sense to me. And yellow with a navy
interior sounds absolutely garish.
Hope you're enjoying your cable modem, fellow @Home user! =)
