Question Color regrets?

Does anyone here like the color you have but just kinda second guess your color decision when you see another RX8 go by?

I have silver, but REALLY regret not getting the color red !!!!
The Nordic Green was my favorite, but I know better than to buy a dark car here in the South! TOO hot for me!! :p

They all look good, but I changed my mind right before I picked out my RX8... I went in thinking I would drive off a Silver or Red for sure, ended up being a choice between Green and Titanium.

IMO Titanium is the best , no regrets.

The first time I went to the dealership, there was only a red available and I wanted it because of the gold flakes in the paint. Low and behold I go to the dealer the following day and find out it's been sold. I thought my world was coming to an end. I found my sunlight silver at another dealer and now I am a happy man. I have no regrets.

I have red and love it. Black and Nordic green look sharp. Wouldn't even consider Yellow or winning blue.

I was going to get Titanium but in the end decided for Black. Now I like red as much as Black but if I had to go over it again I would choose the same.

I wanted red but they didn't have a GT red but they had a ti-gray. I hope that color grows on me. I do like it but not as much as that red or even blue yet. My first choice was blue then red then ti-gray.

I'm a sucker for a black sports car :D But! I think the Ti shows off the lines of the 8 like no other color, and don't regret it one bit. If I could have 2 then my 2nd choice would the black. Black is just Unbeatable on a good lookin' sports car like ours

Absolutely no regrets. Everyone I meet gushes over this shade of blue.

I really like all the other colors (except yellow - sorry!) and was seriously tempted by black and titanium gray, but once I saw blue in person, it was love at first sight.

Just brought home my black RX-8. I wanted either black, or red. If the red had been deeper, more of a Ferrari red, I would have got that. However, black looks awesome when it's clean, and I am compulsive about keeping my cars clean.

Was fully sold on the Sunlight Silver 'til I saw it in real life. Granted, all the details integrate the best on that color, but on the car, it just did nothing for me. The Winning Blue just sucked me right in, although the yellow was a contender too.

You won't believe this:

I bought a Titanium, the moment I got back home I felt it was too dull for my taste. Woke up the next morning, drove back to the dealer and told them i want to switch to a Silver. They were so kind to do that for me and changed all the paper work. Never looked back after getting my Sunlight Silver

i have owned only 2 vehicles (White 90 Mazda B2200 which i literally loved to death & a Red 99 Ford Ranger) prior to my recent 8 purchase. White was not an option, My wife dislikes black because her car was black and even a minor blemish stands out bad. So, since this is our first car together, the choice was easy. Velocity Red. No regrets.

Silver kicks ***. I wouldn't switch it to any other current RX-8 color.

Now, if they had volcano red, or burnt orange that are available for the Mazda6, I might reconsider.
