I initially liked the blue. Then I saw something very close on a Neon and Grand Prix. That soured it and got me to thinking about the traditional color schemes associated with luxury (or near) vehicles. Blue did not make the list. Something a little out of place.

Remember the purple/green Civic coupe back in the '92 - '95 gen.? Those two color never made it to the next gen.

I was also torn between the blue and the silver.. A also think I'm going to stick with the silver. Blue was nice, but I think I would be sick of it down the road. Also saw a Ford Escort with a similar blue. As far as resale value goes, traditional colors (silver, black, white) are much easier to sell than the flashy, bright colors are. Only my 3 cents 
You have to go with what you like though. The reason we see so many different colors on the road is because everyone has there own opinions. Both colors look great on this car and neither decision would be a wrong decision.

Very well said
I myself am going with the blue. Personally, there's nothing I like more then a nice perfomance / luxury car in a flashy type of color (ie M3, M5, etc.). I think it blends those two sides together very nicely. The other main reason I'm going with the blue is b/c everyone and their mother is going to be in a silver. Even almost of the CL Type-S' I see are silver. I would just prefer to be a little different. Also remember, I haven't seen it in person yet, so I may not like it when I see it. BTW, silver is my second choice

BTW, here's a prime example of why I'm probably going to stay away from silver. Here's a a pic from a CL/TL meet in Northern CA that was posted on acura-cl.com. It's pretty much the same ratio in NY too (from what I've seen so far)....

I wish the darker blue was avail. in the Tl-S. That would be great looking for a luxury car. Laguna Green Met. or maybe an Anthricite
color would be great looking also, but that ain't happening. I personally don't like the silver or the Aegean Blue, but I'll have 2 see it in person.

I was leaning towards the Aegean blue myself since it's a really nice metallic blue. But then oracion's comment about having a nice blue would kind of date the car and look old after a while made me think twice and want the silver again. Geez, make it easier on a guy. But after seeing the pic of the Nor Cal CL meet (where I live) then maybe having a car the same color as everyone else's mother isn't so hot. Short of getting a nice black (which is a high maintenance color) and not getting blue or silver, maybe a nice metallic maroon/burgundy color is in order.
