NOW which exterior color looks best on 04 TL?
I just have to say that my impression of the TL's colors is completely different now that I've seen them in person (the anthracite and the white diamond pearl were stunning). I just wanted to do a repeat poll and see if people have had a change of opinion after seeing the different colors in person.

I am sticking with my original choice of Deep Green. I think I was the only one who voting for it originally, but now seeing it in person it looks even better to me.
Actually I think the TL looks good in all of it's eight colors, but my favs are green, anthracite, desert mist and white. Everyone says the blue is cool, but I have not seen one yet except for pictures.

Silver. It looks so great in the early morning light. I would even say that it transforms into an off white color just after sunrise. Later on in the day it metamorphoses into a more regal silver only to change back to its morning color as the sun returns to the horizon.

Having now seen all exterior colors in person (except red - has anyone seen one?), I like the anthracite the best. The deep green is a close second, but IMHO the AM/Q combo can't be beat.

I can't believe the white diamond pearl has only received one vote. I recently saw a WDP/parchment TL w/ kit and BSM. I think that car has convinced me to get the kit...
I voted for anthracite, but the WDP is a very close second and the abyss blue is right after that. There's a thread on vtec.net where people are unhappy with the colors Acura chose for the TL. IMO, the only problem is that they chose so many that I like, I had a hard time deciding...

Changed my mind to silver, which I bought after much color consideration.

I now understand why so many here and over in the TSX threads are upset about the lack of a WDP/ebony option...

Which is easier to keep clean? Which show more dirt? These questions are to try and compare the Anthracite vs the White. Both look great, but which will look better longer for the lazy person?

I voted for the Black, but I really liked the white as well. And, I'm not a big fan of a white car either, but that one definitely deserved a second (and third and fourth ) look. Hubby LOVED the anthracite.

Still no red on sale?
I guess the fact that I'm currently the only one to vote for red means either that it sucks as a color or that it's still rare.
Anyone selling a redondo red? Anywhere? Bueller?

I think that Desert Mist may be the only color I don't like on the TL (and that'll probably change once I see it in person)...

Bright Red would be more Sporty type..
Same with the Blue..

How come?

I think that in the vast majority of cars, black is a beautiful color that turns heads (when clean, of course). On the TL, however, the car's distinct agressiveness is hidden by the darker colors. As has been mentioned here before, lighter colors like Anthracite, SSM, and WDP bring out the TL's lines and therefore emphasize its character more...

Drove by the dealer lot today and was surprised how much I liked the Desert Mist (I usually am not that big a fan of gold). The color really made the sculpted contours stand out. The color looked good with the black molding around the doors/wheel wells etc.
#27
I'm anxiously awaiting Redondo Red or White with Parchment.
But...I think black would really be nice on this vehicle because of the area around the license plate and because of the area below the front bumpers both appearing to be black.
I think this is one vehicle that would really look good in black even though the black would hide its lines somewhat. I just stay away from it in large part due to how easily it shows blemishes and scratches.

Very nice combo! Anyway to take a few pics of it? Maybe some with the doors open to show the how well the quartz looks with the anthracite.

I ordered anthracite/camel. You all aren't giving camel a chance. It isn't orangy at all. It is a rich buttery caramel color which gives a rich contrast to the anthracite. When you slide in, you feel warm and cozy and luxurious. It's cheerful, like a sunny day. ebony and quartz have a cold, industrial feel.
and, Every girl knows theres nothing classier than grey cashmere under a camel coat! This car will be just the reverse.

I was hoping for the blue (even put down a deposit) but I was disappointed when I saw it. In shade it looks like I hoped, but in bright sun it gleams with a bright flickering look that I found unappealing (cheap?) My wife felt even stronger. We went for the black, which in bright sun has very subtle blue flecks-- closer to what I expected from blue int he first place. Now we have to keep it clean of course!
