What's your favorite 1st gen color?

Just curious on what's your favorite color for a 1st gen. My opinion is that a light color looks better -- it highlights the car's black accents to a greater degree. Example: the rear taillight panel, window tints, etc.

I like the meltalic silver (I think it was called sunbeam silver?). Black interior looks good but I have that awfull brown interior (when was that in fashion?)

IMO, I like Siver (85 GSL ), renaissance red (85 -SE ), yellow, black, or metallic blue.

I LOVE THAT ORANGE.

Fav would have to be silver or black.... can't decide. Grey interior hands down with black in second.

But the solar gold of MOJO is starting to grow on me.

I like the colour of our car, its Amerinth, purpal with blue pearl. well of course I would like this colour or we wouldn't have painted it this colour.
I hope this post works.

The flares on the car and the rear wing realy help the pearl show up.

I have a silver 85, my friend has a 85 with a blue and another with a 80, tornado silver. I wanted either a white or black one, only because I think the targa top looks best on those colors. And im not too crazy about red.

as far as stock colors go, my vote would be for black.
