Any color with a black top. The black top accents our windows so people can notice the SVX's beauty.

Re: What colour your prefer ?

Blue is my favorite. Sporty, but not blatantly so. the definition of "cool".

Red is a close second. VERY close. Sometimes blatantly sporty can be good.

Black is always classic, and makes pretty much any design look good, but it hides details, and requires endless care.

Claret maroon red is nice, too. Kind of a "rich" color.

White is nice. Normally I don't like white cars at all, but a white/black SVX is natural for the design of the car, with the pearl. If it were a plain white, it would look like a refrigerator.

Silver looks similar to white. I used to like silver, but I think it is too over-used. It is the new beige for cars.

Yellow is difficult. The right car in the just-right shade of yellow can be very cool, but too banana-colored is odd, and too orange-tinted makes it look like a highway-services utility vehicle, and not every car design suits yellow.

Re: What colour your prefer ?

It's easiest to say what colors you don't like. I think peacock and claret are the worst colors. Blue and red being the best, followed by pearl.

Re: What colour your prefer ?

I personally don't like any car in red, especially the SVX to be honest. I think that the SVX definitely looks better with the black top and trunk and therefor am not a fan of black SVX but love black on other cars(past 3 cars I've had have been black). I like Silver best and actually like the pearlies with the black top however hate any other white cars and I also like the laguna blue and think that it may be the only color I don't mind not having the black canopy.

Just my thoughts...

Edit: Oh yeah, the Silver JDM tritone is by far my favorite and may eventually get mine painted that way. It will not be for awhile though.

Also, I dislike other cars in silver. Something about the black top just provides perfect contrast IMO

You all should see the blue one running around oklahoma city that has a white racing stripe on it and "special edition" badging. Well, at least used to run around the city. It's special alright...

Re: What colour your prefer ?

John, there's one thing that the left car has from the factory that you don't have....The hood bumpers on the inside fender edge. I'll admit publicly that YOURS is definetly the best from the "improvment/eye catching" details.

On another note I LOVE the black over red cars......
