When the car's were originally made (986), artic silver was probably the most popular and common (it was a no cost option I think too) and I guess that somewhere around 50-60% of boxsters are some shade of silver. Lapis blue seems to be another somewhat common color IME. If I was going to pick a color based on what I would want, it would be speed yellow or rainforest green.

I have to agree strongly with Guards red or I wouldn't have bought one. I also like the aqua blue metallic.

I have the window sticker for mine. For the 2000 model year there was a charge for arctic silver metallic. I think it was $895, but I'm not positive. It is a great color, but fairly common. I think seal grey looks good too.
