Nighthawk Black Pearl! It's black, it's dark blue, in some light it's even deep violet.

If you’re LAZY, get Silver or White.
If you love to wash and detail your car every few days get Black or Blue.
If you’re somewhere in the middle get Anthracite or Red.

Black....takes A LOT of work, but it looks sooooo nice when all shined up. Works well w/ the smooth lines of the CL. ....For least amount of work - silver.

since it's easier for you to spell Blue than Anthracite, I'd go with that if I were you

none of the colors in the cl-s look ugly,

but white and red look sweet w/ the 03 tails, silver looks sweet w/ the 03 headlights, blue and black just bling like no other after a few coats of zaino

I got red, but between the 2 colors you listed, I'd go with the blue (my personal 2nd choice after red).

Green used to be a good resale color,now it's silver. I read somewhere that Blue is the next big automotive color (but who beleives anything that they read on the internet ).

I got a red CLS, 'cause I always wanted a red (w/ tan interior) sportscar. My CLS is my first brand new car (I used to let the prior owners take the depreication hit), so I got exactly what I wanted.

My brother commented that he didn't think I was a "red" car kinda guy, and that he was suprised that I picked that color. He's says I'm more of a "blue" or "silver" car guy

I like the San Marino Red 'cause the cops can pick me out in traffic alot easier

I think red look real nice with the 03 headlights, and white half of the taillights keeps them from blending in so much now. But anthracite is a new color, so your car will be more unique if you get that, and it looks sweet.

Personally, I love the Anthracite...not because I have it though

Black and Anthracite are my 2 pics....if you are good at keeping your car clean, black's the only way to go. I got Anthracite 'cause they didn't have a black on black at the dealership.

Between blue and anthracite, I'd go with blue. I thought anthracite looked pretty cool in pics I had seen, but I was at the dealer this past Saturday and must say that I don't like anthracite much. It's kinda like black when dirty. The blue on the other hand looks awesome.

White,White,White...white doesnt show much dirt when its dirty and it hides the nicks and dents well(when and if you get any)Plus white looks good with just about any wheel(chrome,silver,gunmetal,etc.)I would get white......then again I already did...lol Did I mention White?

It's probably too soon to tell, we're going to have to wait and see. Honda of America says the issue has been resoved, but I wouldn't believe any of the crap they say.

Nighthawk Black Pearl with an ebony interior was my choice for my 2k3 CL-S. I always wanted a black car, and now I know how hard it is to keep clean but I still love it.

I have a black one and a white one. The black color is a pain in the ass. It shows all the bird shit, bugs, streaks and ashes from the assholes burning off sugar cane down here. Like it said in a prevous thread, if you like to detail every couple of days, than black's the color for you. Now my white one is a pleasure. It's easy to clean and swirls are virtually non existant. My suggestion is...go with white.

Silver - great color if you drive a lot of highway miles each day like I do. It stays clean-looking for a lot longer.


But if I had a second choice, I would have picked either Aegean Blue or Anthracite. Those colors look great clean and waxed.

Before I got my Anthracite, Blue was by far my first choice. I love my car now, but given the chance again, I might still go with the blue. The one thing I like about the Anthracite is that you don't see them near as often as the blue (I see alot of CL's and TL's in that color).
