What color to paint the 4Runner?

As you can see by the pics below my 86' 4Runner clearly needs a paint job. What color should i paint it? I was thinking either yellow, red or dark green. What do you guys think?

actually, go hit your favorite trails and wait for the mud/dirt to dry and paint it that color..
that way it never looks dirty.

No worries there.
The good news for 80's toyotas is that they'll rust before the paint fades...
As for the bad news....
