That's the reason why I got a red CLS. I see to many cars in white (there's 3 in my driveway/garage), black and silver.

I think that Blue is the the next big color.

That's why I kinda wish I had gotten agean blue instead of silver. Oh well, at least it's easy to keep clean.

If they do make a 2004 CLS6 (doubtful), I already have my mind made up on red. With a navi. Now, I can boast "most popular color" status. Then, I can boast "most rare".

I'm suprised at blue/green. I had a 94 integra GS-R that was blue/green, and I found it to be a most pleasing color.

BlueCLS6

Yeah I don't think those are most popular, but rather most available colors. Notice the primary fleet colors are on top... silver, white, black. I got this a lot... "Well, I don't have any blue ones in right now, but I have this WHITE one here..."

GreenMonster

When I went shopping for a car, I got this alot. The dealers would always say "... but I've got a [insert any color you don't want] here".

I looked at some 2002 Accord leftovers, and there were alot of silver ones looking for a home (under invoice). Black, blue, and red were harder to find.

Acura Style magazine had an article about auto "trends" and had a similiar chart to the one posted by dfreder370.

BTW, when I came home with my CLS my brother commented on the color. He said "I never thought you were a red car kind of guy"

brown beats hunter green???

that blowz...IMO, when cleen, the TL with green on parchment is the CLASSIEST color scheme

my folks had the '93 J30t green on beige (w/ myrtl wood) with the gold trim package...looked hella cool

CBR1100XX

Good things about silver
Always looks clean
Cool in summer time, without looking plain like white
Rims automatically match the car (my favorite)
Bad things
Getting pretty common
