Breeze blue is a nice colour but only on SRi's imo, Dakar yellow is nice but we've all seen yellow Novas plenty of times before, I'd personally try and get Vauxhall Arden blue (As used on new Astra GSi turbos) or Vauxhall Europa blue (As used on the Astra Coupe 888)

Pastel blue, lighter than a Man city shirt (just)

would look luvverly

either that or a PALE yellow. Not dakar.

There have been two mint dakar nova's and you're setting yourself up for a fall If your car is not up to scratch....

Phil Lofthouse/Maff Searle's cars were both "no expense spared" build-ups.

Don't see many green nova's do you???

Purples seem to work well on novas, vauxhall rio verde green is the best colour to paint a nova in my(humble) opinon

ARDEN BLUE IS THE COLOUR YOU SEE LOADS OF TIGRAS IN (AROUND P-R-S REG) SOME LTD EDITION MODEL OR SOMMAT. DOES LOOK GOOD ON NOVA BUT HARDLY GROUND BREAKING......

THE ASTRA 888 COLOUR- DON'T DO IT IT'S ALMOST IDENTICAL TO FORD IMPERIAL BLUE. BE DIFFERENT!

ALSO I HAPPEN TO KNOW OF A VERY WELL KNOWN EX 2 TIMES MAGAZINE FEATURE CAR THAT'S BEING REBUILT AND PAINTED IN THAT EXACT COLOUR WITH REBUILT ENGINE ETC......

YOU HAVE BEEN WARNED!
