White is nice but the most photogenic color is silver! All the auto commercials have silver cars. My friend is in commercial advertising and suggests this also.

se-l red, and super black.. the pearls don't always show up on pictures most the time on other colors.. so the non pearl colors i would say are the most photogenic, but not neccarily the best looking. (depends on who you ask)

I agree that the silver and the sand colours come out best, closest to original when photographed. Black is only nice when it's polished and clean. (read: rarely). Icelandic Pearl does not photograph well since the pearling effect is never seen. Photographing a pearl at night is horible due to the poor lighting conditions (can we say yellow?). The pearl is real nice to photograph at dusk and dawn is you are looking for colouring effects.

Closeups of a forest green with a tan interior just plain old rock! If they would have had a green I would have taken it over white.

That is my two cents.

Even though I have to agree, black on black leather looks very nice when its clean without dents and scratches, but its a pain in the a$$ to keep it perfect, especially for a a clean freak, such as myself. So sometimes I just hate black color, but I always wanted SILVER or RED max / w black leather interior.

Is it deep Forest green or deep evergreen? I never recieved the brochure for my year max when I bought it so I never really know the actually name for it. The dealership even put the color down as "black" on my contract when I signed it, but the car is a deep green. Whats the right term

Best Color for 5th gen is the SE AE midnight blue. The White also looks good on the SE.

Best colors for the 97-99 are Neptune Blue and Rosewood.
The only good color for the 95-96 was the one DavidL7 had(Something like Skyline/M3 blue).

The best 3rd gen colors are Charcoal gray 89-94 and the Electric blue for 92-94.

Most interesting has to be the lime green for the 89-91's.

Majestic Blue- is the best, this color is one of the special edition colors that was offered on 4th gens. well if its clean and waxed it looks like an el kameleon paint job. reflecting blue/purple color together. its the best. its great to know they are going to bring it back on 2002 maximas.
