What colors are the best SVX colors?

What are the different colors ( any difference for each year) offered for interior and ext?

Is there a breakdown on what colors are more common and ones that are rare?

Which colors look good on the SVX and which ones are the more sought after?

Favorite is dark teal, of course. My second choice would be ebony over pearl.

By casual observation from hanging-out around here for the past nine months, I'd guess liquid silver is one of the rarest colors.

Go here to see colors and availability by model year:

Charcoal Grey........!!!



Since I have not heard of anyone with a USDM Charcoal Grey SVX, am I right in assuming that this colour was never offered for the US market?

I'll definitly go with this one!!!! Grey is freaking Awesome!!!

I don't think that Charcoal Grey was offered in the US... I know we had that cool color "Liquid Silver"... That looked really good too...

The Pearl paint with Ebony is pretty nice for a 2 tone.

It shows the unique lines and design of the SVX.

WIth black it makes the entire car a monochromatic look

Pearl White with Black top! I like the unique graphic contrast of it.. Even from far away I can tell its my SVX!
Downside of the white color is that the plastic parts, like side skirts, turn to yellowish.

I also like the JDM 3-tone color. Black on the top, silver on the middle, dark silver on the bottom. That was the image color in Japan when the car came out, so somehow I get used to see SVX with that color.

And I like many other colors too. I wish i could have them all

actually, interior colour is most important to me. i love the tan interior! i think the gray dates the svx a little bit more.
