I vote for sticking with the original color -you'll be extra proud of it when it "looks" new, I think. <img src="graemlins/beerchug.gif" border="0" alt="[cheers]" />

I also agree that "black is beautiful," but it's also a chore to keep clean... <img src="graemlins/cussing.gif" border="0" alt="[grrrrrrr]" /> whereas lighter metallics (like what you already have) always "look" clean.

Garnet &lt;---- biased

Garnet does look cool with burg, though. This surprised me because Burg looks so strange with red... remember that 951 on ebay a while back with the red on burg?

Different.

Zermatt Silver does have a slight goldish hue to it. My S2 is Crystal Silver (LY7T) over burgundy interior. I like it and some pics in my profile and avatar. If you want to change, why not get it done Silver Rose. Yeah it looks kinda like pink, but I have always thought it looked great.

Cheers,

Talking

I have a Zermatt Silver (what the heck is "Zermatt"--un-matchable?)...It looks like silver in some light, champaigne in others! Would work great with burgundy seats. Burgundy goes with anything grey/slate/charcoal. Reds are OUT. I love Diamante Blue...keep it stock!

Zermatt is a gorgeous ski town in the Swiss Alps. I can't wait to go there!! <a href="http://www.zermatt.ch/index.e.html" target="_blank">Zermatt, Switzerland</a>

Interesting--wonder why they didn't call it Zermatt White--aka snow white (mountains and all)?

I like Micah's idea of Garnet, but in my case I'm going 1996 Arena Red. Similar color but updated with smaller metallic flakes and pearls.

Graphite Metallic. If you like black and you like gray, this is the color to get. Of course Im completely biased. I love it with the burgundy leather. Totally businesslike. I feel like Im climbing into a Gulfstream IV.

Ellssuu,

Arena red is a great color! There was also another red that I liked - velvet. Again though, I think that it in order for it to work with a burgundy interior, the red has to be closer to burgundy itself.
