Get the blue! It is incredibly striking at night when the light hits it. I took this photo when I was leaving the dealership this past week looking at the 2019 RDXs. It immediately catches your eye.

The blue is an A-Spec exclusive so, if you're getting A-Spec, blue for the win!

Yeah my concern is blue catches Too much attention from the wrong people if you get my drift...lol. And both the blue and black present a second job opportunity keeping it clean.

Don't forget the 4 A-Spec colors get a $400 upcharge for the paint. I went in the dealership thinking the black on black was my preference, but walked out with blue and the performance red at the top of my list.

i think the black on black is low key bad ass. The blue is definitely on your face. And the black accents pop more on the blue whereas the black they blend in especially when dirty. So some of the aesthetics get lost on the black.

The Majestic Black Pearl looks great.. The metal flake in the paint makes it look awesome

Actually, Apex Blue is for the A-Spec only, but Fathom Blue Pearl is a carry over from prior years and available with the '19 Advance. I like the more Navy Blue shade of FBP, so it would be OK for me not being able to chose Apex Blue.

New Red Whip

We tried to find a red RDX Advanced but this is the best we could do. The paint pops in the sunlight.

On the Advance I would choose Gunmetal, but the wife wanted Majestic Back, it's going to be her car so that's what we ordered.

I'm about to pull the trigger on an Apex Blue A-Spec to replace my trusty but tired 2012 Grigio Metallic MDX. This will be my first brightly colored car since way back when I had my red 1990 Legend (I've owned a lot of Acuras over the years). I can't do the red seats however, as I think I would tire of them pretty quickly, so I'll have to go with ebony. I think the car manufacturers have trained me over the years to buy boring colors. Is there proof that a boring color (white, black, silver, gray) has a better resale value? Just wondering before I jump into the Apex Blue pool!

i got the blue. I figure I’ll drive it for 7-8 years and my oldest daughter will be driving by then so it’ll be hers before it’ll be trade in.

The Red does look great in the sun. Here's my A-SPEC:

We absolutely love the color of both the exterior and interior. The paint finish is excellent. The first picture is just after putting on the first coat of wax.

Any suggestions on White vs Silver Metallic? Reason for asking is, I'm more incline towards White but don't like Ebony at all and on other side, second like color is Silver Metallic after White but like Graystone is big go and looks much better then Ebony. Anything worth considering while finalizing the combination? Thanks

Depending on what trim level you're looking for White can also be had with Parchment or Espresso interior.

Parchment is offered in white or red. I don't know if it's offered with any other exterior color.

Parchment is also available with Modern Steel (Base Only), Majestic Black, and Canyon Bronze in Non-A-Spec cars.

Wander around the lot and look at the cars. We never expected to get the Bronze color, but we did want the light interior, and this one just hit us.

I've owned vehicles of all those colors. I'm currently on my 3rd red. I've had 1 white and 1 blue. All I will say is the white should be the color you choose if you want to blend in. The other 2 would be a better choice if you want to be noticed!
