Default Triple Green or Triple Black LS5

Knowing that I'd probably get some very straight forward opinions on this subject I thought I'd throw it out for discussion. I've just purchased a super nice rust free numbers matching 1970 Chevelle LS5. M22 4sp, bench seat , A/C . The car is about 1/3 of the way through a rotisserie restoration. I've always had a real problem painting a car a different color than what is on the cowl tag, However. this car came from the factory in TRIPLE GREEN ...795 45 B...ouch. Given my resent experience with green Chevelles and my personal dislike for green interior and green vinyl tops I have a real problem restoring this car triple green. So, my question is simple triple green or triple black. I know what my personal preference is but being a small collector that rotates his collection on a regular basis (until I find that dream car) I have to be concerned about the neg. impact on the cars value by changing the trim combination vs. the neg. impact on the cars value because it's triple green. I know some will say that a true enthusiast should not concern him or her self with the value of their car but I personal don't subscribe to that opinion. These car cost to much to purchase and to much to restore to make a decision that has a major neg. impact on it's value. So, triple green or triple black is the 64 dollar question.

Thanks in advanced for you input
