Paint it the color that is on the fender tag
the color Ma Mopar picked will always fetch top dollar
If your asking what colors are popular, i think EL5 is hard to be but plumcrazy purple and moulin rogue are about the most recognizable mopar colors, them and sassy green
Whatever you end up doing, PAINT THE ENGINE BAY BODY COLOR

I agree to a point.....
There are some colors that the factory applied that are hideous. Tawny gold? The light greens they used, Petty/Corporate blue, the tan color....Ugh.
The A bodies from 63-66 had some bland colors too.
YES, on average... the stock color will appeal to a larger pool of buyers. The closer to stock a car is, the more likely it will find a buyer willing to pay more.
But....All it takes is ONE interested person to buy your car. I have told myself this every time a car I have is slow to sell. Only ONE person is needed to sell it. If that one person just LOVES the car in "Resale Red", he won't care if it was originally white or Panther Pink.
I have sold several cars on ebay. Only 2 of them were repainted in colors close to their original hue. Nobody cared about the cars that were color changed, at least I never had anyone ask why...
