I simply do not like the Giallo Ochre color no matter how hard I try...and I don't think that you will loose on resale that much if the color was not the original

Here's a true story. One day, long, long ago, my friend Bob announced that he'd traded for a 1750 which was painted "a funny yellow color". It was, of course, Giallo Ochre. . . Immediately, everyone in the shop started calling it "baby s--t yellow". Faced with such phillistinery, the delicately nuanced sensibilities of the Portello works never stood a chance. 
I you do, indeed, repaint the car I suggest that you do a thorough job of it. Make sure it's painted inside (everywhere) the doors, pillars, underneath, in the boot and all the little nooks and crannies that might show the original color. If you don't do this, a more cursory blow over will definitely lower the value of your car.
Good luck!
