Default Best color on WS6

What do you guys think is the best looking exterior color on a WS6? I've always liked black, and have always had black, but was maybe considering another color? What do you guys think? Or should I stick with black? Any main reasons for liking the color? Any pics? Thanks guys! Just trying to get opinions on different colors, thanks again!!!

I wish someone would do something else creative to a new WS6 like Polo Green.

Since I had a black '01 T/A to start with in '00, I ended up with silver. I would love to have a black one again. The only reason why I changed was because the black one was on a lease. Now my silver one is mine and here to stay!

It's a toss up...black, silver, black, silver, I'll stay with silver.

I think the metallic colors look best on WS6's. They help to emphasize the nice curves of the car. NBM, Silver, SOM are all very nice. However, the darker the color, the more maintanence you'll need to do, and dings or scratches are more noticeable. I still chose NBM.

That is the conundrum. Black is a pain to keep clean, seems to appear dirty quicker, and shows imperfections if paint isnt properly maintained. However, white paint shows every freakin bug, chip, and road debris imagineable. I think all colors have their downfalls and advantages. Its for this reason, you should just find a color you like based on preference not on wether the car will get dirty. It will as long as you drive it.

I had a black car once...my old '89 Formula. I really don't plan to have a black car again to be honest. Too hard to keep it perfect looking.

My favorites in order are:

1) Bright Red
2) NBM
3) SOM
4) BSM
5) Pewter

(4 and 5 are kinda a toss up though, I pretty much like them the same)

I had a Pewter car...it was a '99 Z28. That sure was an easy color to keep clean, but it never turned any heads...

Ever since my first ride in a TA back in 77, I new I would someday have a new one. And it would be BLACK on BLACK. I bought my dream car last year. So, Im partial to black. However, after getting it, I saw a wicked NBM WS6 and loved it. Started thinking I shouldve considered it. Then about three months ago I saw my first SOM WS6 and nearly wrecked the wifes car with my head turned 180 degrees. That was one badass color. Well, this morning I saw a pewter WS6 and was blown away! I guess I like em all. But I still get goose bumps when I see my black 02 WS6 in the driveway after a bath. Daaaaamn! Nothing like black if you can keep it up.
