Help me pick a color.

I'm working on a 71 Super right now and I need to make up my mind soon about the color. I would like some input from you guys, if you don't mind.

I've narrowed it down to two. Either the 2005 Subaru Crystal Grey or the 2005 Mitsubishi Graphite Grey Pearl. Let me know which one you like and why. I'm torn!

Here is the Mitsu GGP



Here is the Sooby Crystal Grey (The darker "earthy" grey)



More colors at the bottom of pg.1 and on pg. 2*

I posted this topic on three other boards and the Graphite Grey Pearl has the most votes so far. I personally like it because it's not a color you would see very often.

Please, keep the responces coming!

2005 Mitsubishi Graphite Grey Pearl has got my vote.

Personally I dont like silver on bugs... There are a few examples where it really works well, but I think its a colour for bigger cars... If you see what I mean. Too common these days too.

Or Jaguar British Racing Green, thats ALWAYS a nice colour

Samcat- That's funny that you mention British Racing Green because I've got a recommendation for that color by at least five different people. A darker green color was on my top five list of colors, but I decided against in favor of the Graphite Grey Pearl.

The Graphite Grey Pearl will go with most any color you want to put with it. I like the color too. :agree:
