porsche dolphin pearl is an awsome color.

porsche paint is very expensive though, my buddy paid 140 a quart for zansabar red from a gt2.

eww.. don't get silver. IMO silver on EK hatches don't look good..

if you want a really nice gunmetal shade. get the gunmetal shade that's on the '03 Mazda RX-8. I think it's called "Steel Gray metallic" or something like that. it looks really nice.

The dark silver metalic on the newest BMW's looks absolutely awesome. The Porsche color is pretty cool too and very similar. I think the BMW color is slightly darker though.
