That's because silver shows better in advertising. Black and white are difficult to "show" nicely on paper and on the web. The margin between your shadows and highlights are too small.

Since I live in Canada, and especially the really dirty air Toronto, silver is the best color. A black car would need to wiped down 3 times a day because of all the dust in the air.
Yep. I would say from what I've seen that Silver is by far the most popular colour I've seen on the roads. And that doesn't just apply to the TL. As you said, not too many people in Toronto are stupid enough to get a black car. In the winter, you'd have to wash it daily to prevent your car from looking like a salt sculpture.

To tell you the truth, my favourite choices for the TL are
1. white
2. black
3. silver

Silver is at the bottom of my list. But I would probably get the silver because I know I would be so frustrated trying to keep the damn thing clean in the winter.

IMO, these are the top three:

1. Navy Blue Pearl
2. Redona Red Pearl
3. Deep Green Pearl

Anthracite would be at #3, but it has basically become the new silver. It seems like every other car on the road is an anthracite grey color. As a result, the color has become somewhat boring like silver.

Interior-wise, camel is best, followed by ebony. Of course, the exterior color comes into play when picking the interior.

Maybe AZ should make that bar graph colour-coded to the actual colours being voted for.

New colors added and notes for model years added to old colors.

If anyone with a 2006 voted for SSM or ABP because that is the closest they could get to their color, send me a PM and I will manually adjust the figures, because the program will not allow you to vote again. And don't forget to tell me which color you have.

I got SSM with ebony, but I got the car used, if I were to have a choice it would either be white, or black with ebony interior.

I'm shocked that Anthracite is the #1 choice so far... I see so many more Silvers out there...

yea, same for me here. I just got my 06' NBP detailed friday and it's already dirty as f***. but it's soo worth it. for me, NBP is the hottest color by far for the TL. It just goes really well with the body shape and overall look of the car...

WDP is the second choice for me. It too just seems to fit the shape of the body and makes it really stand out.

I didn't really like the Silver or AM colors. for some reason for me it makes the TL look like just any other modern car out there.

cheers

For those that dont have there color listed is because the threads from 2004. I guess this needs to be stated for every one that doesnt see there color... This thread is over 4 years old!

I just picked up my new TL w/Navigation on Monday. Picking out a color was a major issue for me, I would have gotten bright red in a heartbeat if it had been available. I had decided on Moroccan Red Pearl from the pics, but when I saw it in person it was a little too orange for me, even though it is a beautiful color.

I finally settled on Nighthawk Black with Taupe interior. It really looks good on the TL, but I have a feeling that I may live to regret it when it comes to keeping it looking good.
