White rx7s soo sexy. Easy color to keep clean as well. My seven is red now, soon to be white. Some colors that you mix also look good : D

Didn't vote...I prefer metallic blue, Ford PolyQuasar Metallic Blue, to be specific..

...but I think a multiplicity of colors is best...the day of the monochromatic theme is done...

I'm going to have to go with a bright red. Always looks good on classics/sports cars.

Just kidding. Seriously, what's it matter what we think? It's your car, what color do you like the best? We've all got different colors on our cars. Some of us love them as they are, while others (like you and myself) are obviously torn between a stock repaint, and a new color. Either way, it's you who has to live with your final decision...

So pick BLUE!

Is that "misty blue" in your sig? If so that's my favorite color. What were the official names for all of the blue? I know there's "tender blue"?

IF your car is an '85 with a Grey interior go with L6 blue like ioTus. It was an '85 only colour. My first FB was L6 and it kicks ***. A great colour that is not too common.
