I picked Diamond Graphite as I believe that is the best looking, but I'm also quite partial to Ivory Pearl. If you could get Ivory Pearl with a graphite interior, I wouldv'e gotten that.
That being said, I own a Brilliant Silver coupe. I wanted the white, as I think the car looks better in light colors. No graphite interior with white, though, so I went with the next lightest color - silver. If I did it again, though, I might get Diamond Graphite.
IMO, graphite is the only color for the interior. That's just me, though.
I picked Lakeshore Slate (obviously biased) because it's a rare color and a gorgeous color, and I love blue (but it's not exactly blue). If you get this color, make sure the interior is a light color, e.g. wheat interior, otherwise, a dark color will not do the car justice. It won't bring out the interior. The drawback of course is that blemishes on your interior are that much more noticeable.
Brilliant Silver, when it was available, was my 2nd favorite color.
i'm sorry and especially sorry to offend everyone with black... but i don't understand how people think black is the best with this car... other cars yes. but this car?? it hides all of the lines and makes it look more generic.
plus - it makes the headlights stick out like sore thumbs.
you can bust on my DG - its cool - haha
but i love DG and IP on this car. every time i see IP - i wish i got that. but i love my DG
i also like the old CB and i like the AB (after seeing those pics from a new member)
i haven't seen LP yet but i bet i'll love that...

I agree, I love black cars (my last two cars were black), but I think lighter colors are better on this car, especially metallic colors. The metallic does nice things on the lines and curves on this car. Black sort of hides the character in the styling, and the headlights do stand out to much on dark colored Gs.
No offense to any black G owners. I totally understand the attraction to black cars. Nothing beats a shiny, black finish when it's clean and polished.

thank you cobra!! someone finally sees my point. although i have seen some black Gs and thought "wow that is nice"
but overall -- i like the other colors.... again, the lines get hidden in black.

Black on Black man....silver is too common on cars. Why do you think dealers always have that color? Black and white are the best colors on that car IMO. White w/ graphite is good, but they didn't have it on the 05 like stated, so I didn't get that. I like the 05 interior too much, so that made me get the black on black. Can't beat the color combo and the heads you turn is crazy.

I found the Mr Clean "eraser" works great on the scuffs I get around the doors on the wheat interior.

i think the best are:
1) black
2) silver
3) blue (dark, not light blue )
4) white
5) and red
but it's ALL about the black interior if you dont have the black interior, then you're not gangsta
