Pearl white!

For aftermarket colors, i like the color Dayle just painted his. It's a tan/taupe color.

Also, there was a member who painted his the steel grey from BMW (i think that was it...) but you know what color im talking about.

And of course there's Penny. Burnt Orange color that's becoming quite cliche now a days...

I've gotta agree with Garg on the ebony. I also like silver and laguna. Actually, there isn't a factory color I don't like.

If you want a unique paint job, how about this?

I am a pessimistic optimistic. I think the worst is going to happen, that way when it does, i don't feel as bad, but if the best happens, i am twice as happy.

Black. It makes the lines look.... eh.. a little less 'weird', and a little more classy.

I want a green that in the day time is a dark green, but at night looks like black... i think that when i do get my car repainted (my friends dad knows how to paint cars!!! yay) that i'll either keep black or go with that really dark green
