Has everyone forgotten the ever important color of the interior? Coordination people... coordination.
BMW seems to have the largest array of unique colors. I like this one because it is fairly rare and very unique.
Check out this URL and click "Phoenix Metallic Yellow". I couldnt up the picture.

Depends on how long you are going to keep your car this color. I like the titanium and I love the Sunset Orange, however this is something that might go the way of that aqua teal of the 80s.
The blue you are looking at is always safe bet, as long as you don't go too electric IMO.

My vote is definitely the above orange or a blue mettalic, like the lambo or chevy electron blue or the winning blue on the new rx8

heh.. once ya go brilliant black.. ya never go back....
I love seeing how lights at night bend off of a nicely waxed black FD... or how a sunset looks reflected from a BB FD...
However, seeing as Rich probably would have bought a black FD to begin with if he liked that color... I am torn between the Corvette C5 blue and the Lambo blue posted earlier.

I would say the BMW color Techno Violet. Check it out, it looks really good on the M3s I've seen in it (the one I know for sure is a 98, I don't think they still sell cars with that color from the factory)

C5 corvettes had a real dark metalic blue (i don't think its IBM, because i believe thats the color JimLab used, and its darker than that)... I saw a Z06 in it, and it rules.
BMW had a real dark metalic blue a few years ago as well...
BUT, Rich, unless you're getting a REAL color change, as in all the nooks, cranies and engine compartment, i'd go with either the factory red, or something real close to it.
