at first I really wanted white, but now I really admire my black color max.

it blends in with the wheel well shadows, the black molding,s the white and red tail lamps, and the chrome trimmings.

it also smooths out some of the edgy, boxy lines since the dark color kinda blends it all.

it just makes the car look meaner and more stanced out than other colors.

anyone else agree?

 

Black sucks in the summer sun...

 

Yup black is pretty much the way to go until u own one. I hate swirls and its a B!tch to keep clean, but murdered is my style. Was gonna cop a white premium cuz that white black combo is ill but went with black

 

Yes black is the best. Just plan on spending a lot more time keeping it clean.

 

Most people I know who've owned black cars get tired of cleaning them. But...anytime I see a Black Max on the road my neck breaks for it. Prolly worth the extra effort

 

I enjoy mine tremendously. But it is almost like another full time job keeping it clean. But damn it looks good when it's clean!

 

Black looks fantastic when clean. Alas, the amount of time it's clean is all too short.

This time of year mine is more yellow from the pollen.

My other favorite color is the crimson black.

 

If you want to know the best color for a Maxima, just look in your garage.

 

when i browse used car listings and sort from lowest to highest price, the cheapest ones are always black. something you might wanna consider if you plan on selling or trading it in.

 

I always thought black was the number one color for resale no ?

 

Probably depends on where we live. Close-in to large metro areas might be where used car buyers lean to black Maximas, as it is a striking color that, when clean, draws second looks.

At the other extreme would be upscale suburbs, where white and silver Maximas would probably sell better.

Of course climate factors in as well. If I lived in a place like Minnesota or Maine, I would lean to darker colors. But living in the blistering heat somewhere south of Atlanta, white and silver are my only practical options. Recent weather extremes (where I live, we now get somewhwere near a humid 100 degrees most summer days), white is now the best-selling color, and leads by a wider margin each year.

Lastly, age could be a factor. Younger folks probably lean to black. Black is one 'bada$$' color. Older folks lean more to more practical white and silver (and beige, should that have been an option on the Maxima).

So where one sells his Maxima may influence which color might sell best.

 

White is the fastest color though.

 

silver...

 

White! But black is cool also

 

nice one

 

No one ever talks about Tuscan Sun or Mystic Jade though?

 

White wins but black is second.

Those are actually the two nicest colors (besides Rad SIlver of course )
I almost got Mystic Jade, but my dad wanted a silver car and wanted navigation, so I got silver. Plus Silver was my original choice anyways. Anytime I see a mystic jade maxima I always look for a while. The way it changes colors in different lighting is sick.

 

Radiant silver FTW!!

 

Blue FTW!!

 

White!!! Black is nice, but it's time consuming to keep clean.

 

I already have two white cars, needed to contrast it a bit, lol. WHite is a very good color for these cars, especially when you have the hyper silver 19's.

 

I've had white, grey, black, maroon & champagne colored cars.. they are all a b1tch to keep them clean if you want it to stay sharp. White/black yes require a bit more time, but they look better. I just bought a black 2011 & love it. I was leaning towards the crimson black, but didn't like the plum color it had during the day.

 

Black looks good when you keep the car clean (which is a constant job). I'm loving the white on a max w the black top from prem package - but dark slate is cool also!

 

The problem with questions like this is that they are so highly subjective.

Silver is probably the best color because it shows off the curves of this car better, when you add cosmetic mods to it they show up better and it doesn't ever look dirty like Black or White does.

Black and White are cool colors but the total truth of the matter is that no matter which color you buy this car in=it's still a damn hot looking ride and sexy as hell.

 

If they made a yellow Max that'd be ugly. I love the color of my car but won't hate on white or black Max's!

 

if i had to change, i'd get white in a heartbeat.

 

Mine's the best color, sorry fellas.

 

There should be a sticky with each 7th gen max color option. Be a good way for people to see different mods and looks

 

No, charcoal is the best color.....

 

Completely Agree! I have the dark Slate color and with the chrome trim and black windows it is the hottest Maxima I have seen

Depends on where you live. I like some of the dark colors, but learned over sixty years ago that a dark colored car get much hotter inside when parked in the miserable sun of the deep south. Bakes (and damages) the top of the dash and the rear parcel shelf, requires more frequent treatment of the leather upholstery, leaves the leather seating surfaces hot enough to burn your fanny, the steering wheel too hot to touch, and the seat buckle resembling a branding iron.

My last black car was a '49 Studebaker, and my last dark colored car was a 'firegold' '55 Pontiac Star Chief. White and silver are the colors I almost always choose.

If I move to somewhere like Minnesota, I will consider dark colors again.

 

black color is always looking awesome.

 

No one has the Mystic Jade. Thats a reason why I chose that color... I live in Madison, WI...all I see is black and white max's

 

Money, I'll agree. I was back and forth between a G35 or the 7th-gen Maxima. I finally decided on the Max and ended up with a CPO Mystic Jade because it had the options I wanted. I'm loving the color more and more each day. In Dallas everyone has an Infiniti, MB, or BMW so I don't see many 7g Maximas around, let alone a Mystic Jade one.

 

mines white and i love it!

 

Just be sure and always remember where you parked your car. Mystic jade looks like a completely different color from different angles and varying light conditions. I have seen this color look like light grey, dark grey, sage green and even pastel purple. I knew the first time I saw a mystic jade Maxima why Nissan used the word 'mystic'.

 

Black, white, and silver all seem to be winners!

 

I got black and doing Zaino polish this weekend. I did this on my previous dark car and it help from spotting up bad if it rains. Definately more work having a black car but IMO no other color comes close when it is clean.

 

Every time I read your posts about Mystic Jade I laugh to myself. I think having a car that looks different under different circumstances is interesting. The only major problem I've had is when you have to tell your parking services what color your car is. I said gray, but only because I feared an odd look if I had told her "Mystic Jade."
