I just took an informal survey at my house -- White wins although it was a tie.

White ---- 83 SC (trackster)
Blue ------ 90 C2 (Sally's Carrera)
Black ------ 04 Audi A4
Black ------ 04 Avalanche Blingmobile
White ------ 08 135I on order (AW/Coral Red - delivered 3/15/08)
Silver ------ 57 Speedster 1500GS the one that got away
Silver ------ 02 Boxster S (partster S)

Ah, good. Hopefully it won't be too hard to sell in ~4 years, then

They also said that white is by far the most popular overall color, and that's one of my reasons for not getting it actually. Just look at any parking lot and it's half-filled with white cars. I like white cars, though. But it's time for a change (current car is white).

Man, if they had offered Interlagos Blue, I would have jumped all over it. I went CSM instead.

Yeah I believe it, here are pics from a track day I did, the blue looks great on a track and pops out a hell of a lot more than black, gray, silver or white!!! I have gotten a ton of compliments on not only the car, but especially the color at the track. A lot of people saying their next sports car will be blue...

Feels horrible to be read like a book! I had a blue R32 and a blue Mazdaspeed. Thank God I forced myself out of blue for the 1!!

:roundel: Montego is an eye-catcher, very soothing and doesn't show the dirt too much. I've had cars in black, silver, & navy blue before and Montego is for sure my favorite.

Montego is my second choice, but I'm just coming off of the blue shade in Arctic, so I'm going with Sparkling Graphite for the 1.
