EDIT: as noted below, I meant to write "Signal Yellow" not "Signal Orange."

If you do go with black (my choice over yellow), I'd get Basalt - it has a lot of depth to it.
As far as yellow goes, the only yellow I like is that pale yellow you see on old 911s or 356s - I am not sure of the shade, but it looks awesome. My dad had it on his 356C when I was a kid.

That took some doing, but she came around. I was actually shocked when she suggested cobalt as she's pretty conservative. She said I"m always getting boring silver/grey and that I should get a "color" this time. She certainly won't give it a seconds thought that I ordered something different.
Guess we are still in a bit of a tug-of-war. I understand it takes about 5 years for submission-acceptance-reconciliation-you do what the hell you want milestone.

Black. One secret to enjoying a black car is to get a small one. 911s qualify.
Personally, I don't mind the time it takes to keep mine clean. Just wipe it down every time you walk past it.

Next 911 will be Pearl Yellow......Actually, its a Harley Davidson color. It's pearlescent metallic with yellow and is truly OUTSTANDING! I posted a thread here earlier on this color and someone photo-shopped it for me. My first choice was to buy a Speed Yellow, second Guards Red, third Midnight Blue. Dealer had a C4S on the floor, Midnight Blue with everything I wanted...so I drove it home. Just be sure to get what you want or you will always regret it whenever you look at it. Good Luck....post pics!!!!
