Funny, these are the same color choices I had to chose from. I would never get a yellow car but the cobalt "only SS" can pull it off. I had a bitch of a time choosing between orange and yellow though. Rally yellow FTW.

Hick, I had the same problem... orange or yellow.... Well, both look sexy, but yellow all the way, is all I have to say, and if you don't like it, you can eat hay!

Haha... seriously though, yellow with a 20% tint if not darker looks sweeet. Right along with tinted brake lights.

I was reading about the perception of the color blue in psychology, some cultures around the equator (exposed to brighter lights) dont even have a word for the color blue becasue their lens' have a yellow tinge to them, rather than being clear which results in the inability to see short wave lenghts (blue, violet) Therefore when they look at a 'blue' object or 'violet' object they percieve a darker, unsaturated color. Cool ****, huh?

This could be the reason why some people see purple and other dont see it with the laser blue metallic. I so not see any purple in my cobalt, but then again, maybe i have sun damaged lens. The perception of this color all depends on the individuals eyes.

So with all this said, i say go with silver (closest to white)... theres no confussion with that color, or lack of color.

dude, get silver you'll love it. And check and see if you can get a silver one with blue inserts like mine is. It really helps the interior jump out.

take a look, if you haven't gottin the chance to see blue inserts in a silver ss/sc

that looks ok.. but i like my all black interior.. its more classy. imo.

i always thought the colored interiors were a little rice-ish. i know that offended some of you, and i'm sorry. but thats why it's called an opinion. everyone has one

Whats wrong wit purple? I think its pimpin
And dont get any seat inserts, they really are riceish and look cheesy. I was thinkin bout gettin black wit red inserts but thats the only way they look ok. In blue they definitely are too bright.
I say first choice black, then blue.

the blue inserts are not too bright. Too be honest after a while you dont even notice the inserts.
