I’ll start it off, but if you’re asking about the TL, I'd say the WDP. White is our color of choice as many of the "family" cars over the years have been white. A sports car on the other hand, bright red, but I'm prejudice as ours is Blaze Red/black leather, sort of run of the mill, but that was our choice. As you can see, I don’t believe the Blaze Red would look very good on the TL.

same here about having white car in the Family i wanted a black TL for a change but ended up liking white more.

but for any color i would want a unique one that not many cars have like say that orangish color that the infiniti FX35 has or even a darkish hazel brown would be fine

Some sort of metallic blue since you don't see blue cars that often.

I would want my interior Ebony though.

I dont know i think the matte black thing looks good on sports cars, and some SUVs, but not on a sedan. Plus I feel like its getting pretty played out. Matte white though is another story

Carbon Black, I think I've decided on painting it that color.

*FYI: There are 3 threads already about this on the first page including mine. :-/

KBP but I don't have a Type-S so it wouldn't feel right.
Same with CBP.

So... probably WDP.

I would do the Hunter Green, but with a sepia-ish interior

Seriously though, what about cobalt blue, like the BMW 335i shown below?
