Default Opinions - What's the best color for a 928?

Hi all,
After installing GTS quarters & rear cover, I'm debating what color to paint my beloved 928. I have two colors in my mind but since I don't plan on ever painting it again I'd like to choose the best color this time. Before deciding I thought I'd ask for the list's opinions. Not that the concensus will change my mind but I'm curious,...what color do you folks think looks best on a 928?
Thanks, Hammer

If you don't care about cops and constant washings, black.

IMO white or red. I also like a few yellow ones I have seen. I mean the bright yellow too, not the softer yellow. I am not a fan of yellow on most cars, but after seeing it on a 928 I really liked it.

My current favorite would be Chrome Yellow the very bright pure yellow used as a tint color. Life is too short to be dull.... bright, fast, and loud !

a deep metallic green, amazon, wimbledon, forest are all great colors for the shark
course you have to consider your interior color... green isn't good if your interior is blue or burgundy

I really like the metallic blues, but I think they look good in any metallic color. None of the solid colors do it for me.

I like the grey/silver shades
Seal Grey would be a nice factory color. Head down to a car dealership and look around..not only Porsche as there are some great colors out there these days. Keep in mind the interior color as well.

For what it is worth the darker colors in metallics will be easier to match if you need to do any repair work in the future. If not black I am partial to dark greens and blues.
