My Vote = Same light blue, it was tuff looking
Sorry to hear of your accident. I hope you're okay.
As for color, you're likely to get many diferent responses. I'm partial to red, but the dark blue you had a few years ago was very nice.
I'm not a big fan of light blue, at least not on an Italian sports car.

I can't find a picture of one, but the new Ford GT blue would be a great color on a Pantera.

BMW Biaritz blue. It's so dark that it's almost black.
If you do a search on this Forum of that color you will see a picture that GP aka CBFH, posted of a Panterain it.
It's nice. Very, very classy.
Just my 2 cents.

My vote is the original Blue ... it reminds me of the Grabber Blue of the old Boss 302's I think it looks tough.

I just had my car painted. I was dead set on painting it dark blue. I couldn't for the life of me find a dark blue that didn't show some purple (I can't stand purple). So I settled with an Acura black. It has the slightest tint of metallic blue in it. You can only see it if when sun hits it. I'm very happy with it.
I'll post some pics later, but I'm sure it will look totally black in the photos.
I prefer dark colors on early (chrome) Panteras. Later cars look awesome in any color.
My 2 cents.

There was an amazing saphire blue used on the Ford GT show car that was much (IMHO) nicer than the dark blue used on the production cars. I think the show car used a "candy" paint (silver base, transparent color coat).

Wow Mark, you blue me away!
I think amother big question would be ...What kind of paint do you want on your car? I chose to use a single stage urethane in a solid color because there is no clear to ever come off, it buffs like butter, and it flows out great too. If you want a metallic color you are just about bound to a basecoat/clearcoat system. Now you have to deal with flake control, multipe stages, it's more work to. Roland, For some reason I have never painted the color Blue that did not come out looking good. It always works for me! The Ford GT brite blue shure looked good to me. 
Mark,
that saphire blue is awesome. I agree with you that it is much nicer than the std blue. It would look especially nice on a widebody.
thanks for posting the pics!

Bill, there is an adhesion improver for two stage.
I did't use it and my primer is showing through on the front bumper and behind the wheels on where the road spray hits in only three months.
In your experience will it improve the durabilaty of the paint at all?
This two stage stuff almost washes off when you squirt it with the garden hose.
It is very easy to use but it doesn't last for shit. (sorry, I cleaned that up too).
There should be a hardener for the two stage but there is not.
The one stage uses the catalist but you need an oxygen supply with it because it produces cyanide as it cures. The same kind as in the "gas chamber".
It dries very, very hard though. Even so with it's hardness, it stone chips easily.
There is no perfect paint system unfortunately.

They're all great. I want one of each.
As far as I'm concerned the first time I saw your car in the dark navy my jaw hit the ground, and I still go back and look at it every once in awhile, it was awesome. Thank God no one got hurt and I'm anxious to see what you will present your new cat as. Rob6145
Roland, Very sorry to hear of your misfortune. I would not take that well at all. Although I will give a color for you to ponder.
"COPPER"
If I was to build or paint a car today this would be my first choice. Something different.
Although, if you are partial to blue > Chevrolet Corvette 1972 Targa Blue (had a NCRS roadster in that color; see next post >>>) would be awesome.

Mark, that helps. What about white? Give me more colors !!
Which colors are you considering? Trust me (OK, George) you don't want white. Sure it's easy to live with and it never gets too hot inside, but the ribbing you get just isn't worth actually RE-PAINTING a Pantera white.
Lambo pearl orange!
Yes, when I look at these models I get my hat on. 
Ok, based on the photos, I am painting my car silver now

Lambo orange would be pretty striking on your car

But then again, it already looked great in the original blue.
