I originally wanted PB, but almost all my prior cars were black, so I thought a change was in order. Went with the Rally Red. The RR is a perfect shade of red for the X.

Got GG - as it's more subdued. I wished the Grey was a little more grey - kinda like an Audi or a Lexus Grey. Next to these grey's our GG looks kinda cheap. It seems the Audi / Lexus grey convey luxury... dunno if that's even possible 
My thoughts regarding colors on cars:
White - for cheap hatch backs and small cars only. On larger cars, the flat whites don't last and doesn't look good after awhile. Pearl whites are another story though.
Black - never, after 3 black cars - it's enough, besides it's too hot in the CA sun.
Silver - easy to maintain, don't need to keep it very clean - good neutral color.
Grey - understated, much more so than silver, don't need to clean it as often.
Red - too flashy, maybe on a little Miata or a Ferrari, can't think of any other car that would work in red
Blue - blue is nice, but I think it was fad recently and has gone downhill a little. I equate blue with WRX/Sti' though, dunno, just think the Blue Mica Pearl looks nice on those cars
Yellow - never
Other flashy colors (lime, purple, orange, etc.)- yeah nice for a while, but will be embarrassed to be seen in them, don't need all that attention.
Overall, I think as I get older, I am looking toward more neutral subdued colors.

I really like my WW but I must admit, every single time I see Blacktracks car I wish I wish I would have taken the risk and got the OB... I had the choice between OB, WW, RR, and AS when I got mine... I'm happy though! Much happier than I was when I got my VIII TB... lol... had the choice between WW and TB on my VIII and should have gone with WW, o wells!

I bought a WW and love it. I have to admit tho, when i was at the dealership yesterday and saw that RR evo it looked pretty dang good. I originally didn't EVER want to get a RR because that was all i had seen advertised for about a year, but it looks really nice.

I've never regreted buying the Apex Silver...it's by far the classiest color for the Evo X. The contrast between the black and silver is perfect.
The blue was too "Boy Racer" for me, the red was too maroon, the dark grey was too bland, black shows all the scratches, and white...well, like an earlier post said...it's too "Storm Trooper" for me.

I went to the dealership intent on getting the GG but after seeing the PB in person I quickly changed my mind. The PB is a pain to keep clean but when it's clean nothing looks better.
