Smile Si's "Best" Color

Overall, what is the best (in your opinion) color on the '06/'07/'08 Civic Si? Overall meaning on the coupe & sedan. I'm sure there is another thread on this somewhere, but opinions change & I was curious to see what people thought now.

my list (in order from best to worst):
Tafetta White (best overall & best on coupe)
Albastar Silver Met. (2nd best on coupe)
Nighthawk Black Pearl (best on the sedan)
Fiji Blue Pearl (2nd best on sedan)
Habanero Red Pearl
Galaxy Grey Met.
Rallye Red

Also, do you think we'll see any "replacement" colors w/ the '09/'10 models? Hopefully the Galaxy Grey gets replaced w/ a true Grey Metallic color....it comes off as brown'ish to me at times.

Tried to find Black, after a week of failure I opted for Blue, I have had many complements regarding that fiji blue.

Fiji Blue Pearl or Nighthawk Black Pearl are the winning colors in my opinion.

Anybody whos anybody knows Alabaster Silver Metallic is the best color known to man.

Heres why:

* It reflects surrounding colors giving a nice deep shine
* its the easiest to keep clean, hardly shows dirt
* Unlike NHB or FBP it shows the lines of the car well at night/dusk
* It matches the wheels and inside trim

ps - why so many threads about this? Of course everyone is going to love their own color more then another.

I completely agree. This is very much like arguing about a car's general design. Its all subjective.
