I love black and I have had Three black corvettes, and they lookbest when they are detailed but I would NEVER get another black car,k to hard to keep clean
Silver is the best to keep clean

LASER BLUE!
I would not have bought one that wasn't equipped exactly the way I wanted it. It had to be laser blue. The best color, however, is not in this list. Ford used a great blue on its 90s Tauruses, Honda has a great blue CRV, and the blue Mazda6 is stunning. I wish laser blue was a little darker, but it's the best color available on the P5.
Faults with the others:
Yellow - good try, but it is too orangy. They should have used a more pure yellow, like they have on the RX-8.
Midnight blue - too gray, looks like a dirty black car
Black - as discussed, great if clean, but terrible dirty
Silver - worst car color ever. I would never, ever buy silver. Looks like they slapped clearcoat on the bare metal and forgot about the paint.
Red - okay, but fades too much on older cars
White - decent, looks great on some cars (especially classy or sporty cars), kinda cheapens (ironically) the P5.
There you have it, one man's opinions.

good thing its only one man's opnion(lol) IMO the P5 yellow is perfect. Its nice and deep in color instead of looking faded and washed out like the RX8 unfortunately does. Pretty much like the pastel easter egg color on the mustang and focus I posted earlier.isawyou said:
I have to admit though, that the P5 yellow is not my fave.
W/O a doubt, the best yellow evAr is the IS300
Pro5 yellow is just perfect. Mazda6 yellow is also good.
Bad yellows:
Lancer
beetle
focus
matrix
mustang
Sentra - this one is too orangy
Good yellows:
P5
s2000
is300 - although it's borderline
It depends on the car too, I like the Rx-8 yellow

With white and black, you have to always keep it clean because the dust and dirt show easily. But with silver, it doesn't show that much.....That's why I think silver is the best color!!!!!!!!!!
and yellow takes the lead again...you see, there definitely arent more yellow owners than the rest...I think the silvers have it...its jut those that dont have P5s, and their own car does not apply to this thread, realize that yellow is the best color(evil)

i'll tell ya why yellow wins...
cause all ricers know that yellow is the fastest color.. and the P5 can use all the extra speed it can get
