My old car was gold (champagne) and I like that color because it had a nice shine to it and easy to keep clean. Another is dark green with a black pinstrip.

Black Emerald with NO pinstripes!
why?
1. because it's purdy.
2. because there's only a couple others on the board that have it!
3. because it's purdy.
4. because athe other 4 cars my family owns are white.
5. because it's purdy.
6. it's easy to keep a shine on it, given you wax it every 3-4 months.
7. it's purdy.

Oatmeal...

'cause it's yummy.
How can Satin White Pearl not be the best?:

1. Girls dig it.
2. People pay for it: $350 from the factory.
3. Optional on the Z.
4. Imitated by Audi.
5. Glows in the dark.

Anymore legit arguments needed?

color

I liked the skymax, good with white accents. Black looks GREAT when clean and waxed...but the next day you get dust, pollen, and everythign else all over it and its ugly as hell!
Not to mention waterspots.

agreed speedsound.
Mine is a dark charcoal gray and is hard as hell to keep clean. It's nice when clean but ugly when dirty.

Actually I was told satin pearl white was a $700-800 factory option.. maybe I was misinformed.. it is a THREE STAGE paint job.. by far the most complex paint on a max at least.. (well besides david C's chromelion max ..).. errr lets see... best colors.. on a max? or in genral?..
the green color on my 89GXE parts car is kinda cool the mirror tint really makes it look smooth.. everyone seems to like that color.. other than that.. a black max is always smooth.. I've seen a FEW silver ones (not charcoal.. but silver).
Other than on a max.. hmm every car looks better in different colors (due to shapes/forms/type of car/etc.. ) some cars don't look good in seafoam turquoise.. but then again 911's do .. I've seen some amazing paint colors on $$$ cars.. 911's, Ferrari's, etc... personally its too hard to choose a "best color"

Good colour is...

Silver -
1) Beautiful
2) Safe in dark hours
3) Strong (much metal powder)
4) Seems to look clean even when covered with dust
5) Reflects the sunshine (ask about dark cars after an our on the sunny parking in the summertime)

But the best colour is that your girlfriend likes ?

BLACK is definetly the ultimate color! Hard to keep clean, but that shouldn't be a problem now should it?
