What color should I paint my truck?

I am planning on painting my '70 C20 this weekend. Nothing special, just tired of the white paint.
It is a white Custom Camper 20 with upper and lower trim. It only has some minor surface rust which I'll be repairing prior to painting.
Just wanted to get some opinions.

Most people go into this with a little more planning and lead time. My recommendation would depend on how far you want to go. If you just want to add some color I would recommend a variation on the "special two-tone" factory paint scheme.
Most two-tones base on a body color with white trim or color and color on some truck with contrasting roofs. However there were variations through the "special paint" order system. This truck pictured is a reverse of the "special two-tone" by using a white primary with color below the rockers and on the roof. It would change the appearance of your truck and still keep the white interior. Thinking a blue or a green would look great. Maybe red if that is more to your liking while still being different.
