Default What colors are the available paper air filters?

I have decided to abandn my K&N air filter and will be going to paper. I am going to get a clear air lid, so I am curious as to what colors the various paper air filters available are? Hoping for a yellow one, or something other than white.

Thanks, (I know its a stupid topic)

GM standard was yellow.

Blackwing is a sort of purple.

You could go buy some food coloring at the
grocery store and get whatever color you like
(mist & dry).

I think yellow might look cool. I have a orange Z28. Maybe Wix is a brighter yellow. If it is even yellow.

jimmyblue: I figured on going with purolator based on your research. COol idea to mist with food coloring and let dry. After it dried, it would never come out unless it got wet. And tha twould be a different problem altogether.

IMO this is the most retarded thing I've ever heard....buying an air filter based on the color it is, or trying to dye it another color.

I know its stupid. I will go with the purolator based on it being the best flowing paper filter. I just figure, if I go with a clear lid, I want it to look cool. Something other than white is cool. LOL. flame on.
