Best Color for the design...????

[Gdog]

Guys,
Call it a poll it you want....but what color does this body style look best in? I hate to say it as I hate the upkeep....but the Black seems to. I am thinking on getting Red, Blue, or the Platinum ......but damn the Black just rocks! Thoughts?

White Satin Perl for me.

Black is the best, but is a pain to keep clean. However, it looks really sexy when cleaned!

White is the best since it doesn't show dirt

My last two cars have been white including the '12 Genesis. I recently bought a '13 VW Passat tdi- dark red. I've had it for a week and already wishing I'd bought white again.

White IMHO. And I have the platinum haha

I had several colors to choose from and I was thinking white until the sales guy walked me over to the Twilight Blue Pearl Metallic. In the direct sunlight it just screamed "Buy Me". It sparkles in the sun plus it accentuates the chrome as well as the black does.

Titanium gray metallic. Hides dirt and gleams in the sun.

If you are in MS and go over to that car in the summer and put your skin on the sheet metal, you would be the one who was screaming.

I prefer Platinum (which I own), then Titanium, Black, White in that order. Those the only colors I would buy... don't care for the red, blue or beige ones.

Can't argue with that!

Color choice goes beyond exterior preference. First, be sure you like the interior color(s). Put the cart before the horse in the selection process.

I wanted black first, but ended up with White (one of the last 2012s on clearout and no more black available within 180 miles). I really like white, but this is my third white car in a row.

I got a 30% tint all around and I am really happy.. It looks awesome.

To each, his own. You see a lot of black and white cars out there, I think grey and silver are boring-------------so it was the red for me. Of course, I have always like deep red on cars. It looks really good (rich?) when clean and a little road grim doesn't show like it does on black.

Dirty or clean, black of course

Black and White both look great. White is very easy to maintain. I have both and think strictly from a cosmetic perspective black edges it out. If you include long term maintenance (swirl marks), then I would take white over black.

My tastes have changed over the years.

I used to think the more colorful and flashy the better. You know, the "peacock effect". Meaning: uses its brilliant plumage to entice females.


2005 Dodge Magnum: Cool Vanilla with Inferno Red 2-Tone

2000 Dodge Dakota R/T: Flame Red

2006 Chevrolet SSR: Aqua Blur

Then I started liking the "do not attract attention" theme. I want to lay low, go incognito, and not be noticed in a fast @ss luxury sedan:


2006 Infiniti M45: Diamond Graphite Metallic

And finally (to date):

2012 Hyundai Genesis Sedan 5.0: Titanium Gray Metallic

Does anyone else see any similarities between the last two?!

I guess a little off topic, but explains my choice of color on the Genesis........

 

[bmbutler]

I also have the black. Very picky about keeping all my cars clean including this one, but this one is wearing me out. I had a gold car and loved it and my next one will be gold.

 

[Crusty Old Shellback]

I prefer the Titanium gray but wish it was a deeper darker gray. If you set teh gray and silver cars next to each other, it's hard to tell the difference on a quick first glance.

My favorite color choice would be a metallic gunmetal gray, but they don't have that color.

I will say the blue looks good as well but you can't get a blue R Spec.

 

[Genny4me]

If the Genesis came in the red on the above Dodge Magnum, that would be my choice. White is running a close second.
All in all I'm very happy with my Platinum
