I am definitely not a purist, but I have some thoughts on this.

To me, BRG doesn't look right with a black interior and top. A BRG
car needs a tan or brown interior and top.

As for colors, how about bright yellow? After all, it is a SUNbeam.
My Series 5 is presently white, but I am giving serious thought to
painting it Mustang/Miata/sunburst yellow for safety reasons. That
color really stands out in traffic.
