The nice thing about the more neutral colors is that you can go more bold with the interior. With yellow or red, you're pretty much talking black interior. Which is fine, but I like a little pizzazz on the inside, where I spend the most time. White with graphite and chalk? White with Bordeaux and black? White with espresso and cognac? Although if you go white, I'd be in favor of CWM with Bordeaux and Black.

Where to go with yellow? Surely black but you also bring more yellow inside.
Because Yellow!

Stop worrying about the resale value and get the color (Yellow!) you want. Unless you plan to sell the car in a year or two, the selling price between a boring color and RY/ GR color is less than a cup of Starbucks coffee a day.

Black is not the only interior color if you chose a Yellow exterior. I chose blue, which is just fine:

What can I say, I like color (counters the grayness where I live)

Great choice but you played it way too safe with the exterior color. Next time, man up and get that Red or Blue or Racing Yellow!

Lava Orange is in a league of its own, hence the separate sentence.

If I remember correctly it was MY 2015 not 2016.

Discount perhaps due to time and punched warranty and maybe less so color.

Right Bemo?

Yellow looks very nice when I see it in the showroom.

Yes, it's 2015 and I think the timing worked out to our advantage. The color had nothing to do with it though I made it a bargaining chip. I've gotten nothing but compliments and already had opportunities to sell the car but not at all interested.

Rumble Bee and I have many more (s)miles ahead of us.

Guys, this dillema is grinding me up!

I found this cool picture, you can see all colors:

(In this view, guards red speaks to me the most of the affordable colors. But I'm sure that opinion will make a 180 turn tomorrow, lol.)
