1. Anthracite
2. Black
3. Blue
4. White
5. Silver
6. Red

If you want a care free ride move white to 1. and bump the rest down. The paint job lacks in quality from the factory so you have to pay a lot of attention to the dark colors. I was never partial to Silver hence its low ranking. If I had to get one right now, it would be anthracite or white.

The new Anthracite color is quite nice (especially if you want a grey or silver car). That being said, I got the Nighthawk Black. It looks very classy with the Parchment interior. After Zaino'ing I can see the pearl blue sparkles deep within the paint. Nice.

If the blue was a little more darker I would have got it. I thought it was a little too bright for me.

I don't want to choose one because about the only color I like the blacked-out headlights on is the white and that's the only color I DON'T like the '03 tails on.

So I'd have to go with the "2001-2002 CL-S" option.


Blue is too bright? Hmmm. Guess you prefer flat navy blue.

Though I own the Nighthawk Black Pearl, I must admit I really like the Anthracite, second of course then is Black.

1. Anthracite
2. Silver
3. White
4. Black (too hard to keep clean and will eventually look shitty)

Only problem with Anthracite is it is becoming very popular and more new cars keep coming in that color (dakota, focus, etc). As nice as it is, I feel it will be a fad color and soon get too popular and then die. Now many of you might say the same for silver, but i disagree since it is a basic color that everyone is familiar with. In a way what i am saying makes no sense, but hopefully somebody will see my point and agree...

I dunno.


I really like the athracite the most. If I had to get another CL-S, it would be that color.

I think it goes well with the new headlights, and the metallic sparkles are nice too.
