I don't recommend RR. It oxidizes quickly and is as hard or harder to upkeep than black imo. Can look really good, but it's such a pain.

If you can find a black one that has been taken care of, definitely go black. No swirls and you're in

Black is beautiful, but it gets dirty so fast.

I'd buy a black one after the one I currently have, love the way it looks but it does get dirty fast.
But I'd also consider to buy a white one or BBY.

FWIW, My next CT9A will be BBY, EB, WW or GG. Most likely BBY or WW since they are more common. I think those colors are the easiest to maintain and should have lasted (keep in mind you're buying a 8-5 year old car).

I originally wanted the WW but found a great TB I couldn't pass. IMO black is such a mean color it adds a aggressive look toward the body style. Glad I went with it!

i havent decided wht color i would want, but i know what OP means by "has to be convinced" you'll never like a certain color unless you seen it done nice already.

true, you shouldnt make people convince you, they wont pay for maintenence nor will they be there when your evo needs help. Afterall it's your car, please this is subjective I may say I like GG evos more than TB but then again, its your car and your money. People on here could care less if you even bought a brown evo.

I wanted TB or WW...ended up with BBY and I couldn't be happier. I love the color. Pictures never do the color justice IMO. So I think when people say you don't go with your first color choice you'll regret it are only partly right.

I also have a silver 8 and don't really care for it color wise. I enjoyed my GG 9MR at first then realized everybody in my town with a 9 MR had the same exact color. So it got boring. Plus the color isn't THAT special to look at. It's nice, but it's also bland IMO. Rare colors are win!
