Question Decisions, decisions......Help!!!!!!!

Hi all! Newbie here....
I want to buy a TL but the only thing holding me back is the color!!! At first my picks were 1) black/camel, 2) wdpearl/parchment, 3) abyss blue p/camel, 4) Redondo Red/camel (I know there are official names for these Hubby doesn't want me to get black because he says I'll be cleaning it all the time and he didn't like the blue! He likes the white diamond pearl w/parchment then redondo red/camel. I'd like to have either parchment or camel interior. They all look very nice. The only reason I was shying away from the white pearl was because I have a white/beige F-150 Lariat which hubby will now drive. He says it is a different color and shouldn't matter. After going to the dealer tonight I like either the white pearl or redondo red - I like a sportier look and will be adding a spoiler. Any suggestions?????? Comments???????? HELP!! Thanks!

Go with what you like. Bottom line. Your driving the car. I liked the White. But liked the Camel interior more. So went with the Abyss Blue.

Abyss Blue Pearl/Camel/Navigation

the rarer of your two choices would probably be the red/camel combo

3) and 4), Blue or Red with Camel, seem to be the very good choice for you.

Don't worry about having the same or similar color car as your hubby, go with your gut feeling. Which one can you live with driving all the time?

I have the Redondo Red with Camel and love the combination. I have received many positive comments on the color. Abyss Blue was my second choice, but went for the Red as I think it will be a little easier to keep clean.

They all look sharp, so there isn't a wrong decision.

I ordered the Redondo Red with Parchment interior and am extremely happy with the combination. You don't see this combination a lot and I like that.

Wow! That pic is sooooo awesome! I'm glad to see the wing spoiler because that is what I'm considering getting too . Probably would go with the camel interior though just 'cause my current vehicle has the lighter "beige". Gosh, this decision is getting harder!

I have the NBP/Parchment and two kids. It is not that hard to keep clean, though more work than others probably. Still, the color combo rocks!
