Hell. I'm 49 and I'm getting yellow /w black rally stripes, why not you?
I want a color that grabs your attention. Yellow, orange and red say "look at me". Black and CGM say "take me seriously". Silver says "I can't make a decision".

I have gone back and forth between yellow, black, red, silver and even white. Her's how I've analyzed it:

Black - hides the shape of the car, gets dirty

Red - I've had three red cars in a row. Time for something new

Silver - looked good at Barrett-Jackson but honestly, silver is the color for Camrys and Accords, not Camaros.

Yellow - my first choice but I've yet to see it with the rally stripes and the color offered is not the same as the color in the movie or on the Pace Cars.
Look at my sig; that's what it looks like with stripes. No, it's not the same color as bumblebee, but close enough for me to proudly hang a "beeyotch" air freshener from the mirror.
Blue- The dark is too dark and the Aqua looks green outdoors and just doesn't do it for me.

CGM - can't find it, may be delayed and wouldn't look good with rally stripes

Orange - Dukes of Hazard, construction sign, nuff said

White - would look good with orange stripes like the old gen 1 pace car. But my wife has a white car and it gets dirty.

So where does this leave me? Pulling my hair out, that's where.
If you look at your comments dispassionately, you'll see that your objection to yellow is the least serious of them all - you're letting what OTHER people think cloud you mind.

Well, I decided to tell everyone "who cares what you think, I'm getting what I want!"

So I just got back from the dealership where I put in my order and put down my deposit for a Yellow 2SS/RS with black rally stripes. And with the ground effects package.
