Cool feedback.

Black - so nice, elegant, always classy, just tough for an OCD guy and the scratches and constant maintanence. although, i think an suv almost NEEDS to be black!

white - really stands out imo, and with the right car, can really make it look nice.. although, it seems too much summer for me, and i only get 4 months of summer....

silver - now this is an EASY EASY color to own. no OCD freak outs and it always looks so slick and cool. it just can really bore me on a nice sunny day, 4

and gray - well, i like it as an alternative to black, but yet having more contrast and eye appeal than your standard black car

interior HAS to be black, especially with 8 months of crummy weather here. the red inteior on the S5 looks pretty interesting, but seems like red interior would make me snap after about 1 week.

exterior has to be white, black, silver, or gray.. other bright colors, such as blue, only maybe for a small porsche 3 door type car or something, but thats it.

hmm...

i have a grey car with black interior now. i love grey on cars, but i definitely want a black and white car next.

obviously, it depends on the car.

black for the FX50.
white w/ carbon fiber roof for the M3.
maybe a blend and go with the grey for the S5.


but i love black on black and black on white interiors. however, the brown in the 3 series coupes is

Red and blue, depending on the mfg of course... anything in the white-grey-black color spectrum is just too common, although a clean black or pearl white can look sexy. Same for other neutral colors like "champagne"/bronzish. Not a big fan of green, in any shade. Dark blues are usually not that great, dark reds are a little better, but I prefer tasteful bright reds and blues. Metallic blues are a must.

Looking out the window to the roof of the two-level parking here, it's a sea of blacks, whites, silvers, other neutral or dark colors, with a couple red cars and no bright blues.

say what you want.. we dont look like everyone else. and i've never had ANYONE say they didnt like my FPR paint job...

i guess it would be cool to have a silver or black TL like the other 95% of cars on the road.... NOT

FPR and ABP are the hottest colors from acura.

now my favorite colors overall.. are custom colors...

ABP on 2G CL/TL is my favorite.... I like FRP and RRP on 3G TLs too. I'm more of a bright red guy though, like MR or NFR on S2000s (would not look right on a TL)

E46 M3 in Laguna Seca Blue on Black was a pretty sweet combo too.

Those are great colors, just not on the Acura cars.

Grey and White are my favorite colors on a car as well. Most get away with silver. As some said, black looks great when it's clean...but I don't think I'll own it again.

^ Agreed, especially the silver.. it leaves me wanting something more.. I've owned black, white, gray, and silver cars, but I'd say silver seems the most plain. Even though on some cars, it can really show off the lines of the car...
