I've seen all the colors by now in person at the meets and still feel in my opinion that Carrera White is the nicest color. Another one i love that is rare is Speed Yellow. The yellow stands out though not sure if thats what your looking for.

I you have the patience to keep it clean and polished ...i think Black looks great......esp with red or yellow calipers. The silver Carrera S emblems and the double silver exhaust pipes stands out with the black

I think ANY color works great with the Porsche, dare I say even the green. Its kind of like the Lambos, sky's the limit.
Given that, there's something to be said about the white, very classy.

My 07 Carrera S was white and I loved it. I now have Guards Red and love it too. I had a black 06 and it was a lot of work.

White is the new silver. That's what mine's gonna be, if they ever finish building it! With natural leather dark gray.

(For you Saturday history buffs, the CarrEra Panamerica is/was a car race in Mexico. CarrAra marble has been used since the time of Ancient Rome; the Pantheon and Trajan's Column in Rome are constructed of it. Many sculptures of the Renaissance, such as Michelangelo's David, were carved from Carrara marble.)

My May build cab is ruby red (L2) with black/sand interior - of course I think that's the best choice!

I think you should get what ever colour you like, we all have our bias opinions, and iwould throw out Seal Grey, except it isn't available any more.

As per Stardoc, they all look good, even the green.
