Question Which Color is Most Stealthy?

I want to know which color you think is the stealthiest. The 2IS is a fast car, and I want to be able to drive it fast without attracting attention from the Highwaymen. So which color do you think is least noticeable and why?

On the 2IS, it shouldn't really be a question. As for color in general, matte black!

Sorry for the omission; that one wasn't in the brochure for 2008.

umm no... you guys are thinking stealth fighter, best way to stealthy is to blend in with the sheep, white or silver are some of the most common colors on the road, therefore to be stealthy you want a white or silver car

^^ good point, but i'd have to go with black since most attacks happens in the dark hehe...flat black would be the stealthiest even though i hate the color and wonder why people would ever want to paint their car flat black

any color resembling silver, since silver is the most common colored car.
