What's the best factory paint color?
I think the black with blue pearl sparkle is pretty sweet. And not just because it's my car color

The Blue Pearl is awesome if you like washing your car 4X a week to keep it looking clean. Mine is Heather Mist and everyone says="What a beautiful car color" It's just a little more off color than the Silver. I like it! Also I refuse to have a dark car. Some are known to blend in with the road and are harder to see coming down the highway. Especially Dark Gray. Studies have shown more people won't see you and will pull out in front of ya causing more accidents. Had a friend that sold his dark gray mini van after 3 accidents. All the people causing the wrecks said the same thing, "We didn't see you coming"!

I like Anthracite Metallic the best....since It's my color. I just think it suites the aggressive lines of the TL better than the other colors. NBP is the most shiny and hardest to keep clean. The gold color SUCKS!!!

Could be Traffic Star DTS or Axis Milanos. Another company makes the same design but i for got the name of it.

I think all color ever came out for TL's looks good, except the green. Dont have a favorite color.

NBP has the slickest, shiniest, and the most reflective look when clean. but it has to be like spotless. definitly NBP is incredibly nice, i love how it looks when its giving you a perfect mirror image.. but its hard to keep it that way.

ABP i did like until i figured it didnt go right with our cars. imean the color is nice, but on an acura? i dont know. blue is such a common thing among the little compact cars..

Anthracite is definitly nice too. easiest to keep clean, you cant really tell if its dirty, unless you swipe your hand across it.. definitly the color i wouldve gotten if they had it for the 99-01 models.

i have the taffeta.. i used to love it, but since now they have it on stock accords, civics, and all throughout the honda lineup, i feel like my color became cheap.

Even white would look better.

NBP & FPR would be my choices. I wanted a FPR, but I ended up with NBP.

Nothing looks sexier then NBP at night or seing water beading off of it
