Color is very personal, no one can tell you what you like.

Me, I like black, almost anything looks good in black. Bright colours will attract more attention, so if you decide to go that way be sure that you're prepared for more people (and cops) taking notice.

Black is very nice, my #1 choice. Choice 2 and 3 would be Tornado Silver Metallic with the trim black and Formula White with the trim black. A nice clean red always looks great too again with the trim black. I like the S4's black trim due to the contrast

Every car on the road is black, red, silver or white. Be creative.

Lay down a base of lime green with a big gold metal flake, then go over it with a few green tinted clear coats.

Or what about deep blue (almost black) with a small metal flake, covered by successive purple clear coats until the colour is a deep blue-purple.

Satin blue would be nice as well.

One more reason I like black is that it's subtle. It doesn't stand out too much, so you can more easily avoid the attention of the cops. They're much more likely to clock you with radar, notice some minor traffic violation, or whatever if you're driving a bright lime green and gold flake car than a black one, which is more likely to blend into the background.

How about a bright yellow or orange? British racing green?
