Carbon Gray or Royal Blue?
Well I've reached a deal with a dealership in Atlanta for a 2007 TSX Auto w/Navigation. Now I just need to decide between Carbon Gray or Royal Blue. Honestly I'm not sure which I like the best. Opinions/Reasoning?

I had the RBP on my '05 Accord and when it was clean, it was a beeeeaaaauuuty! However, after 3 or 4 days, the car would look like it went through a mud pile! 
So I went with the CGP for my '06 TSX. Much better at hiding dirt! 
In all honesty, though ... RBP makes the TSX look more luxurious while the CGP says "sport luxury".

when i buy a car i consider what the color will look like in five year after normal wear and tear. I think the carbon grey will still look good but the royal blue may not if it fades even slightly

If you go with the Blue, get the clear bra before you drive off the lot. Either way they are both nice colors, I would have to agree with the post that the Blue is a bit more exclusive.

Both colors are super! But you will enjoy the car 100 times more with a 6 speed manual tranny. Trust me. I traded my auto because I felt it lacked power. Bought the 6 mt and it felt and ran like a totally differnt card. This car was made for a 6mt! Either way, "enjoy".

weird... I haven't seen any CG at all, but there are 2 Silver ones right at my gym and I see other colors daily. Although I have to admit I see more TLs then TSXs. Btw, what do you guys think is Silver or Carbon Grey that's more practical?

I love CGP, very classy, I see too many Blue Subaru Impreza STI's anyway.
But for some reason, I'm a sucker for PWP color!

Royal Blue. Luxurious color to me.
My black TSX looks like crap after a few days since a wash, but it's really hard to get our silver metallic Camry dirty. We don't remember the last time we washed it!, and most of it still shines. I am really truly amazed by this.......
Still, I'd get the same thing over again.

What Would Don Draper Do?
i have cgp, and i think it's a better color. don't get me wrong because i think rbp does look luxurious, and it definitely stands out because there aren't that many on the road. i've always liked dark blue cars. at the time of my purchase, rbp wasn't an option.
but i love cgp. i love how it looks subtle, yet sporty. it is probably the most common tsx color. but it's still different than other grey cars. and i love how the blueish hue to the cgp.
bottom line, you can't go wrong with either color.

I think you better get a revote.
Unless you are confusing the colors or the Voters are.
Artic Blue Pearl (ABP) is the bright blue
Royal Blue Pearl (RBP) is the dark blue color avail since '06
and we all know what CG is
And i vote CG. easy to keep clean, and when dirty....looks clean

Grey or Blue
I think the blue would be outstanding, but my personal preference would have to be BHP, yes, it does show up even dust but it is so beautiful when it is clean & shiny.
Also, I truly believe that Black looks more like what our TSXs are, a Luxury
Sports Sedan. My
Whatever you get, enjoy her!

Go with the Royal blue as they are less common and its a nice striking color. Thats not to say I don't like the GCP as thats the color I have on my 06, But you see way too many of them.

Let me help you!
I originally wanted RBP, but CGP was my 2nd choice. I snatched up a CGP when I found a 6mt/navi at a dealer that was willing to negotiate. I originally searched for a RBP but found it was hard to come by. I then went to the dealership expecting to get a black one, but then I saw pictures of how hard it was to keep a black tsx, so I made CGP my 2nd color when I started visiting the dealers.

But then again.. CGP's not easy to keep clean either
but absolutely breathtaking when clean.

Either colour is great. I was originally going to get a CGP (GP in Canada), but the dealer only had a RBP 6MT on the lot and I fell in love. No regrets! I'm still the only RBP I've seen driving around town.

I also think the reason for so many CGP TSXs is that gray is a very popular color for cars today.
If you remember years back when the minivan phase was in full swing, that green color seen on so many Dodge Caravans and the like was very popular. Then, it seemed silver was the popular color. Now, I think there are a few popular colors, but gray is definitely one of them.

yea grey has been a very popular color the past several years. overall, i think i see more silver cars than any other, though. but i see many many different cars and models in their own variation of grey, and they all look great. such as lexus' grey (i think they have several different grey/metallic).
