As I'm sure you know the Flame red (check my garage) fade's, although mine hasn't!
Black is rare imo.

Black isn't rare.
Brocade Yellow is THE best colour you can have on a Sport, then Arden Blue.

Blue ones are too common and silver does nothing for a corsa

Black 

it is a bastid to keep clean though, and shows up scratches and swirl marks the worst. i would prefer either white or black though, arden blue is such a nice colour though.

swirl marks are what are made usually form polishing and washing you car, tiny tiny fine scratches/swirls in the paintwork whihc are a bastid to remove. also for arden blue, look at stavs avatar for a nice example.

White, Black, Yellow, OR Red, if you have the time & care for it, due to fading.

a proffesional machne buffer person will buff the car without leaving nasty swirl marks, most bodyshops just quickly give it a buff and dont spend ages getting it perfect, speaking from experience working in a bodyshop.
