I've just flipped through many manufacturers swatch books at a place that does wraps. The deep blues just do not look good as a wrap, the texture of the material really shows through unless you go over board on metallic.
The blue I would want is not an option with wrap, paint only.
Now I did find some interesting colors to wrap that I am pondering.
The texture of wrap doesn't show up as strongly on reds.

Avoid wraps that resemble paint- you will be quite disappointed. Because a wrap is not many layers deep, crystal-clear, rock-hard clearcoat like car paint it. Its just soft vinyl.
You dont get the gloss, nor the depth, nor the smoothness. You can definitely tell its vinyl.
Now if you do the matte silver, black or brushed metals- its a thing in itself.
One caution on the brushed finishes and the matte surfaces, its understandably difficult to keep clean.
Toy colors also work. Just dont try to do anything sophisticated like gloss black or blackrose. I did the blackrose on a car and while its acceptable, its not high quality of paint.

However, certain colors it matters less, such as a vibrant Ferrari red. Rosso Corsa-ish wrap with a caramel interior could look sharp. I'm still thinking about it to decide if I would consider it acceptable.
I just couldn't find images with image search of a blue wrapped car I liked. Now that I see what a wrapper has to work with from different manufacturers, the issue becomes clear.
With vibrant reds, the color overwhelms the eye, and the lack of perfection from the wrap is camouflaged.
I am getting my window trim wrapped to brushed titanium today. Any tips since you mention cleaning?

Yes, if you park under a tree, particularly Hackberry, wash it with a fine brush before it bonds with the vinyl. Its very difficult to get into the groves with just a sponge/cloth.
P.s. I have tons of that brushed titanium I am not using.
