This statement is hilarious.

You guys are all wrong. Guards red is the best color. It's a classic. It's actually very low maintenance as it hides dust and light dings very well. People are concerned about red cars getting too much attention from the police. The fact is, the CHP don't bother me because they know the color is too fast for them to catch.

Black is not really a color but is the absence of color. Either way sure does look good when it's clean. However give me atlas gray or midnight blue metallic.

Agree completely with your two colors, but need to view the black in a different light ...

The Japanese Koi breeders view black as having ALL colors and white as having none. They are really talking pigmentation. Through selection, you can breed pigments out to create other (sub) colors, but you can't breed colors in.

I love the variability of the Atlas (shared to a lessor extent by the midnight blue) but prefer the blue ... probably due to buyer's justification since that is what I have. Therefore ... best!!!

Again as already mentioned, all opinion!

He nailed it (the first part of his statement that is): In the visible spectrum, white reflects light and is a presence of all colors, but black absorbs light and is an absence of color. Black can be defined as the visual impression experienced when no visible light reaches the eye.

But as we all know, Patrick Henry stated: "Give me Guards Red or give me death!"

Sorry. But lapis blue covers a whole spectrum of blues depending on the light. And we all know the blues are the best for showing the car.
