Thoughts on a colour for engine bay?

Well lads, am building a R32 drift car and have gathered up a right few bits so time to get the ball rolling now.
Want to paint the engine bay something cool, was thinking pink or purple?
Any ideas or thoughts? Want it to be different...

Car is currently white but might not stay that way, possibly going matte black.. Or it might just get a fresh coat of white to brighten it up.? Open to suggestions on that as well :)

Its illegal to sell paint to someone to paint a car unless its the water based paint, however you can still spray gates and other metals with it.

do not put any of that single pack agri shite near your car,, go to an autofactors and get decent paint, 2pack is not illegal to sell as mentioned before as 99% of it is now voc compliant,, keep the tractor paint for dung spreaders,,
