Silver was the color for the prototype Boxster and I believe it is the international racing color for German autos. Silver does not show dirt as much as a dark color like black, it isn't too bland for some folks (like white) or too flashy for other people (like speed yellow.) If Goldilocks was choosing a Boxster, she would find silver "just right".

I just wish Arctic Silver wasn't so common. Although I have to admit that having an Arctic Silver car made it easier to find a matching hard top at a good price.
