Help me pick a color for my car!

I was going to post here, but then I realized it said "car," not "cat."
If you think the waiters are rude, you should see the manager.

Make it the deepest, darkest gunmetal gray you can find. Then add a touch of black to the paint. Make it look like the car is liquid metal.

It took a while for you to find me; I was hiding in the lime tree.

It's big for emphasis :)

No really, I didn't realize that it was zoomable.

I agree with this 100%.

And, Potato, srsly, fix that picture.

You're jacking up the whole thread. Even the reply page.
If you choose not to decide, you still have made a choice.

Lassev: I guess there was something captivating in savagery, because I liked it.

I'm trying to avoid darkdarkdark colors because they bake in the sun. .(

Dark colors don't matter here (Florida). It gets so hot, any car turns into a furnace.

Solution: garage it and only drive it in the fall and spring :)

Pfft then I'm in the same situation I'm already in here in NH, which sucks! Seriously, a black car is no worse than a lighter color? I find that hard to believe...?

Obviously these will look a bit different when they're on a car than they do on the can, but he has these two (meaning if I use one of these colors, I don't have to buy paint). He said the orange will look more metallic than it does on the can and the blue will have a lot of pearl and gold flake.

Between those two, I tend to agree.

However, I'm still tempted to buy the Lotus orange...but if it's the same as these:

it's too yellowish.

BLAH I need to see it on the car both ways! I'm going to fire up Forza's paint shop.. :P
woot!

When your choices are having the inside temperature of your car be 140 or 147...just go with the color you like. But like I said, that's here in Florida.

Arizona has speed cameras galore, the color of your car wont matter.

Speed cameras? Seriously? There's no way that would fly here in Texas. Hell we had numerous people go out and shoot red light cameras when they started putting those up.
