I absolutely hate Stryker blue in person. It looks nice in pics, but YUCK in person. It's way too Smurfy.

Verde Ithaca gets my vote. Neither the blue or the red do anything for me IMO. Not a fan of KANDY colors anyway sorry. I dunno about that g8 blue, but it does look a bit smurfy.

Go with the Red. I'm not digging that green at all. It looks more like something on a Dodge. Not saying its bad it just doesn't look like it would be good on an F body. No offense to the guy with the Camaro. I just don't care for it.

Have you seen a Lamborghini in person in that color? It's really beautiful. I don't think pictures really convey how pretty it is.
