Nice! Saw a turbo rolling down the street the other day in a blue shade like that while waiting for wife to pick me up. Have to admit, it was an attention getter...T

My wife likes that blue as it is similar to her alma matter--Columbia University.

No doubt Carrrra white because that's what I have and I'm not biased. But if I didn't have white, I like black, atlas gray, and saw an awesome silver metallic a few days ago.

I had a M3 in Carbon Black over burnt orange leather. Great color combo and kind of similar to midnight blue. Love the contrast.

Best color how? Visual appeal? Take candy; it has to be visually appealing and taste good (sweet). How many black, silver or white Skittles or M&Ms has anyone ever seen - or for other brands consider the packaging (special holiday editions notwithstanding)? Of course black, white or silver are great but thet don't have the visual "Pop" another color may provide. I am sure there is psycho-biological explanation but an example may be better. At Rennsport my Turquoise Blue GTS was parked next to Larry Cable's Mexico Blue GT3 in the Porsche Corral and no one was taking pictures of or giving the black, white or Silver 997s any attention. That doesn't make either of those the best color, just perhaps that they were more visually appealing.

Here's a shot where my 911's the filler in a speed yellow sandwich. Although partial to blue, I'm liking speed yellow too.

I have Guards Red and I have to agree, Speed Yellow among non PTS colors is the one that fills my heart with a slight twinge of envy...T
