Do You regret the color you chose when you bought your X?
I was thinking about this the last few weeks. When I was originally considering buying a X, the color I was most leaning for was WW, which I know so many people like. Unfortunately there were no WW Xs available near me at the time. The dealer I went to had OB, GG and AS. Now the last 3 cars I had before were blue, so I was initially going to choose the GG X as I remembered how good the IX MR in GG looked like. While I was working on the deal inside the dealership there was an different Mitsu, dont remember which model, in the GG color. At that moment I didnt really like the look of GG for some reason. At the last minute I told my sales guy to switch it for the AS color. I was thinking that its not WW, but its close enough. Few days later I picked up the car. There was snow on the ground during that time, so I the AS color would somewhat blend in to the snow around. Im sure you guys get what Im trying to say. The first week I thought the color was ok. Maybe not as good as thought. But slowly my thought started changing.
There were a few days in which we had some warmer weather, which pretty much eliminated all the snow on the ground, and I could now see my AS X clearly. It really looked nice, especially at night. It reminded me of my old Mugen somehow. The Mugen comes in only Fiji Blue Pearl, which looks really nice during the day. When night comes, though, that FBP color appears to shimmer vividly. You would have to see it to understand what I mean. The AS has a similar, yet different affect. It looks really good at night under a light. Now I like the color a lot more then before. I just cant wait for the spring so I can slap on the wheels I have in my garage and drop the car to see what it looks.
So? Has anyone gone through something like this?

No....have RR and very happy. I do like the GG and PB but just not up to the maintaince of a black or near black car.
Unlike most here...I not as much of a fan of the WW....Maybe because all my cars but 1 up until now have been white and I have enjoyed the change.

I love my RR, the only other color I considered was WW, but the whole stormtrooper thing kind of killed that for me. Every time I see Blacktrack's OB X, I kind of wish I got blue, but I never wanted a blue Evo.
All in all, I don't regret getting red. After all, it's Mitsu's color

I wasn't really excited about any of the colors personally. I ended up bringing my younger brother with me to the dealership and let him pick out the color he liked the best. I ended up with Octane Blue. 
I do like Wicked White (mostly for colored rim options; Takata Green, Mag. Blue=YUM) and Apex Silver though. I could be happy with any one of the three (OB, WW, AS.)

I had the choice of OB SSS, and I love WW. The WW was a base model, so figured I would get hid's later. Love the color but I could have lived with the OB after seeing more pics on here. Now they have a WW SSS and WW MR, oh well.
