Default Just don't know what color to pick

What the title says

The car in question is a base Panamera Id like to order soon, but I just can't make a decision.
With a sports coupe, the choice is always easy because I either get white or a bright loud color, but the Panamera has been quite difficult for me.

On one hand, darker colors look better on large sedans because they make the Panamera appear smaller. It also conceals the front end grill of the base Panamera which I find to be somewhat unsightly, and I also think this car just looks bad in white or metallic white. On the other, I wonder about how Chalk might look the best despite its expensive price tag.

I bought one from the lot, so I wasn't really choosing a color, but I really liked the combo of the silver, black accents, and red interior:

My E-Hybrid is Chalk with Burgundy interior. I love this combo and it makes me smile every time I get into the car. Put Expel Ultimate Plus on the entire front, mirrors, door edges, and rear trunk area and then Ceramic Pro Gold over the entire car. Almost 4000 miles and the car looks fantastic. Yes the Chalk is somewhat pricey but for the Panamera it is a good choice imo.

I would probably go green simply because you just never see green. I think a deep dark green would look classy on the car with a deep mocha interior and satin finish fine grained wood. Totally the opposite of what I drive now! You really can go wrong with color. I do think the Panamera looks better in darker colors, but you really can't go wrong.

I do like the idea of chalk white, with burgundy. The bright red is just a bit too much sometimes, but if you went that route the bright red with carbon fiber trim would be the way to go.

I have a white one with cocoa interior. The black wheels set it off IMHO.

white over brown was my initial want, but settled for white over black on a pristine local turbo car that fit the bill. brown interiors are very rich looking and nicely unique.

Do you want it to look elegant or sporty?

Very nice. I've got Agate Grey/Agate Grey which is quite nice but for color @DogWood's choices plus Burgundy Red would be my three.

In the white/black/silver family, I'd pick Chalk.
