championship white only came on the 97+ integra type r's in the US. in the nsx R and civic R's also came in that color.
the preludes in 97 came in a pearl white...
the normal civics came with different different whites depending on the years... theres taffeta white and frost white which is also the same white thats on the accords and normal integras
but on SC's i like dark colors like black... keeps it classy. white looks clean but not as elegant

Avus blue from E36 M3's or Estroil...but I would also recommend 2GS blue...not sure on what the color is called...but it looked really nice on the one I saw today. White is definately nice though...so is Black! =)

I am a big fan of Avus Silver on the new Audi RS4. That would be a hot combo with a black interior. It def. looks badass in person!
Quicksilver is also very nice (from the Supra)

Unless you go with a more VIP-oriented kit, most kit will deviate away from your luxury image.
I dont consider the M3 luxury like the SC, mainly because of its ride and interior. It's basically a car with leather. If you want luxury out of a bmw, an M3 isn't it. lol.

Uh, yeah... I've never been a fan of Laguna Seca Blue, either.
It actually has more green in it than that picture shows. While I like bright,
flashy colors, I think the LSB would tire very quickly- like after about a month
I'd walk out to the car and think "what have I done?"
White is okay I guess, but it always makes the SC look like an egg to me- probably the last color in the world I would paint an SC. Always looks unpainted, unfinished on this car. The Honda Type-R whites can tend to be towards brown/tan, so keep this in mind - that white always looks 'dirty' to me.. but I am very color-sensitive (too many days in the photo lab when I was younger).
Also, I think the SC needs a metallic color, and/or one with some pearl.
I am partial to blues; if I had an SC and i was changing the color,
I would hands down do "Ferrari Tour deFrance Blue."
This color is dead-sexy in person! I tried to post a pic, but the 'manage attachments' window won't open right now...

i saw that laguna seca blue color today on a civic, it looked OKAY, dont worry about putting a BMW color on your car as some people are stating
just bc it came stock on BMW's doesn't mean its restricted to the use of a BMW, although i believe this, i do have to say that putting a lil more thought into it, i can imagine this color looking rather strange
the most exotic color i can think of that looked okay on the SC was Din's old orange SC, that ferrari blue looks good though, not bold enough though for my taste although
i'm leaning on making my car some kind of green in the future
but unless you want to take away from the luxury feel (which is your prefrence so do it if you want to), stick to darker metallic colors for now

I say white on an SC the silver would be nice too. laguna seca is nice, but on M3's only I think its kind of a trademark that screams m3, would look kind of ricey on a sc I think.
the blue on the ferrari would look nice too
the blue on the ferrari would look nice too
