previous car was black. Never again. I don't mind the extra work since I'm pretty well experieinced in detailing but the magnfication of imperfections is what drove me over the edge. Neutral colors do a great job of hiding those scratches, chips, swirls etc. and some of those are not fixable unless you repaint the whole panel.
After 10 years these blemishes can add up and make the car look a lot older.

I went with Silver because it is the color that I feel looks best at night under lights (very reflective like black), during the day under sun (but hides the swirls unlike black) or at dusk.

Silver might be boring compared to Porsche green or orange but I wonder if guys who own those colors ever get tired of driving aroound in such a conspicous color.
To me it would be like wearing red shoes every day. The uniqueness might wear off.
My second choice would have been white. A white Porsche with some tastefully done graphics is a design winner for many sports cars from Ford GT40 to '73 Carrera RS.
