I normally wouldn't ask for help on such on opinionated question, but I having a REALLY hard time deciding what color TL to get. I have about decided for certain on the following: quartz interior, body kit, 18" OEM wheels (maybe chromed factory wheels)

I am stuck on the following colors: anthracite metallic, abyss blue pearl, and white diamond pearl. I had about decided on anthracite, but then everyone seems to have something positive to say about WDP, esp. with the body kit. Then I saw ABP for the first time and love it and I got really confused.

Which of the above colors would look best with a body kit and A-Spec wheels?

Also, if any owners of the above colors could answer these questions: What is your favorite thing about your color TL? What is your LEAST favorite thing about your color TL?

I know I can't go wrong with any color, but I'm torn nonetheless.

And please don't suggest another color (even if it's your favorite), because I am having too difficult a time as is.

Thanks

 

Anthracite here.

Favorite thing: On a bright and sunny day, the car looks better than any other TL paint offering.

Least favorite: On a cloudy day, the car looks really blah. The camel interior helps make it brighter, but clouds + anthracite = a reduction in contrast. The lack of chrome trim puts all the emphasis on the shadows and the anthracite ain't got 'em when it's cloudy.

That said.....with the A Spec kit and wheels, you need to go anthracite. The wheels match perfectly.

Somebody on this site posted some gorgeous pictures of the blue with Quartz. The dark blue
really offsets the light interior nicely. Since you've already decided on the quartz interior, you
may want to do a search to find these pics . . .

I'm awaiting delivery of my ABP/Quartz car, so you know what I think...

 

I know Texas gets hot like Florida. WDP is a great color to keep the heat down as well as offer greater visibility at night. Besides, it is easy to keep clean. The only drawback is the bumpers. They may tend to look yellowish when light hits them a certain way. However, the advantages far outweigh the drawback. If it's any consolation, anthracite would have been my next choice! You can't go wrong with either.

 

Anthracite here.

Fav thing: Personally, I think it looks great clean or dirty as the grey color really hides the dirt.

Least fav thing: Beginning to see more and more of them on the road in Anthracite...the color is getting too popular I think.

My advice: Have your local dealership park the color combos you're looking at side by side and do the comparison that way. I know none of them will be A-Specs but at least you'll be able to see the colors all together.

 

Ditto for my feelings about Anthracite. One difference... I have the Quartz interior, and I personally feel the exterior/interior really complement each other. The Quartz is also really easy to care for and goes well w/ the blue lighting.

My second choice would have been WDP, but not with Quartz. Doesn't the WDP have kind of a beige tone? Seems to go better with Parchment IMO.

 

I'm getting the white on the 28th (I hope) though I think I'd have gotten the green if it weren't for the extra month and a half wait. If they had a lighter green, I may have waited for it.
