how long are you going to like yellow for? black is a classic color, but are you going to be fine with yellow for a while?

Silver, black, and white have the highest resale value. I'd probably get tired of looking at yellow. Plus, with yellow and c/f parts you might look like a bumble bee, which I'm not a fan of.

If you were asking about some wild paint scheme for your car, I'd understand a question like this, but you're asking about stock colors. Just paint it the color you'd want your new car to be. They're both good colors.

I disagree about the resale value being highest on silver, black, and white. I used Edmunds used car appraisal for my zip code (28216) and here are the color adjustments for my 2004:

- Black +$33
- White +$77
- Silver +$90
- Red +$124

Blue comes with a deduction: -$44

I was repeating what I saw on an episode of Car & Driver last week. Red is not a popular color with high end luxury cars. It's too flashy, not conservative. I'm surprised at the blue deduction. Blue is easy on the eyes. They said silver was the best in resale.

I kinda disagree there. I mean if I were to get a ferrari F430 the only color would be RED. But then again you're talking about high end luxury cars not sports car. Whats this topic on again?

I personally like SS.
