Cool

I was tooooo conservative with my 997. I really wanted Speed Yellow, but was 'strongly encouraged' to get a more conservative color. Thus I 'settled' for Atlas Grey with full Natural Grey leather interior.





Love the car, love the color, but there was an itch that needed to be scratched and finally got taken care of almost 14 years later (it is almost 2 years ago, wow, time flies):



I don't think I will ever buy a white, silver, black Porsche again.

Black can't be the best color. Black is the absence of color. So I guess you're wrong.

When it comes to pigments, black is all colors - white is the absence of color (it’s opposite from light)

You've got it backwards.
Black is the absence of color and visible light. For example, a black crayon can absorb every color equally, and it won’t reflect any. So, black isn’t a color, according to science.

On the other hand, white is also not a color. White is the sum of every single color.

Black and white is also not part of the color definition because they don’t have a specific wavelength.
