Silver looks clean even when dirty (all you have to do is clean the wheels) and it hides rock chips well. When clean, the silver on the IS-F sparkles like no other...my second choice was white...

Don't know how to edit and add it to my poll, but I'm throwing in SGM.
I dislike the color in the shade, but in the light, it's great. Have you guys seen this link?

Haven't seen that link before. Those are some great pictures
I'm still going to stick with my original vote of silver with SGM second (ahead of my original second, white)

I like the darker colors (have SGM myself)....yes, gray and white hide dirt better, etc. But, I don't like seeing all the cut lines on the lighter color cars (trunk, fenders, doors, tow bar cutouts, etc.)...looks like a big jigsaw puzzle to me...the darker colors hide all these seams better. Just my .02.

My 3 choices when I first picked out my IS F where Starfire, smoky granite and mercury metallic. I chose Starfire because it is definitely easier to maintain, plus it stands out. No offense to the darker colored IS F owners, but Obsidian and SGM hides the lines of the F and makes it look like any ordinary 2IS on the road sorry to say. Standout colors for the F are obviously Ultrasonic Blue, Starfire and Mercury Metallic.

Flipside, your car looks great, and whilte looks great overall, but I kinda feel like any car in white makes the car look a bit heavier than it really is. It's clean and dramatic and does show the lings, but I kinda like the svelte look of a darker color.

I have a thing for the spectra blue mica. I am infatuated with that color! Yes, I remember you talking about the SGM for your IS350. My suggestion is go with the SGM, you have always been attracted to it.
My gripe with SGM that it has to be spotless, and super shinny to look clean, if not it looks as if it is dirty.
