I was always a fan of a white SC; the color makes the car "look" bigger. It goes great with saddle leather!

The PB Edition looks great as well. Too girly for me but my sister is drooling over it...

What? No Silver? I have silver but since you're asking, I would pick Matador red which is the same as color for the IS250/350. I've seen this color on an '06 SC430 also and it looks very distinguished.

After having it for 4 months, I still love the Mercury Metallic best, it gives the SC the most elegant feel year round.

I've had my silver '02 since Mar'01, but have seen a dark green color that I think is really good with saddle interior. Don't know if it's still available or not.

I would only buy the SC430 in Black or another very dark color. Makes it look like a different car in the light colors. I would bet that owners that buy in the light colors would never agree with those that buy it in the dark colors on design looks of different automobiles.

Chardonnay Pearl, also known as "gold" or "tan".
Tried to buy a new '06 but the dealer told that this is a color that has been discontinued in the last months.
So went on to buy a used "tan" '03

Couldn't really decide which color to pick. The interior made choice for me. Many advised against ecru and black was too dark when looking at walnut trim. I went with Smoky Granite since few out and saddle interior. White would have been second choice since wife said Red was out of question.

Just ran across this poll and it's jacked up. Starfire Pearl wasn't even available until the 2007 model year. The best color for a 2006 SC430 is White Gold Crystal.
