Well, my initial plan was to go with orange. Then I went to the Detroit Autorama ... seems orange of one shade or another is like a bellybutton ... everyone has one !!! How many vehicles, at the Autorama, were painted Destroyer Grey? Mike.

No B9 in 1968. It was coded EE1 in 68, and was available as B9 on C body Chrysler's only in 1969. My 68 Road Runner is EE1, and looks very different depending on the sunlight. Love the color. B7 is another very nice color. Lighter than EE1. I plan on painting my 69 Sport Satellite in B7, when I redo it.

Always wondered what this color would look like on a '69 Road Runner. Like this ??? Not mine.

Nope, nope, nope and definitely NOPE! Car was originally Y2 Yellow. The only "original" color I care for is orange. But if I do go with orange it'll be this one which was on a Dart at Carlisle last year and as you can see matched my spray-out almost perfectly. I didn't meet the owner to as them any questions.

Whatever color makes you happy, go for it. To hell with what anyone including me thinks!
Orange looks great. Doesn't matter to me which one. Even the original Omaha Orange/garbage truck orange looks really good to me, and all the more modern variants are great. There is a reason so many of them are painted orange. It just works.
Destroyer grey and other brands' equivalent (seems the Subaru version is alot more blue?) has been done, I've seen two or three, and looks really good. If you love it, do it!
A 1969 Plymouth Road Runner is simply not boring in any color (unless you hate 1969 Road Runners or think they are inherently boring). Even Sandpebble Beige looks badass to me.
None of the legit supercars are boring, in any color or even in primer.
Just imagine any of these without the metallic and there's destroyer gray.

his car. What ever trips his trigger.
I fail to understand why you guys post the question of what people think, then argue with them about their opinion.
Paint your car the color of your choice, then ignore any comments someone may make (unless they are agreeable to you), and enjoy life. He asked the question looking for answers and OPINIONS...And he has gotten them, although he seems way less thin skinned about the opinions. Want my opinion on a color. Orange is nice of 68-70 B bodies, but I like orange. I also would consider the original yellow(even though I dont like Yellow) and possibly some of the late model reds, particularly the Mazda ones mentioned. I have had a couple 68-69 B bodies and usually gone with an old Mopar color but not necessarily from that year. For example Plum Crazy and GoManGO. Now he has my opinion and an answer to the question. Anyone who knows me or has seen some of my cars knows I like COLORS...Usually in multiples.
