Dealer discounts on red and yellow...
RX-8 is the only car I would buy in yellow (mine is silver, bought out of dealer inventory. Car looks great in yellow, one of the few cars that does (outside of Ferrari!)...
When I was shopping for my car, one dealer told me he would only negotiate off MSRP on red and yellow RX-8s because they weren't moving as well as the other colors. He implied that Titanium, Silver and Black were moving very well.
On the road here in OC, I've seen one yellow, one green, two red, several titanium and one other silver -- no blues or blacks...

I have a direct import JDM Pearlescent Mica White. This colour works well with the RX8 and it suits me. If someone could give me the instructions to post pics I would post some.
I am all for choice. Mazdausa should do white, and retain yellow and green.

I'm not at all fond of it on cars, especially sports cars. It reminds me of all the delivery vehicles and rental cars around - boring and utilitarian.

I think the Japan-only Mazdaspeed edition (can you buy it yet?) is a special, darker shade of blue. Not exactly Navy but...well, I'd have to seriously consider it if it were available over here in the US.

If I had a yellow 8 I would be thrilled about this news. This means that the yellow 8 will be very rare and the resale value should be higher than other colors. Now if they would just discontinue the titanium grey! :p

I am as happy as a pig in **** .
IMHO Mazda will be using yellow as a trophy car in the supercharged version of the mazdaspeed rx8 thats why they may have decided to stop yellow on the standard rx8 .
Any way here in Australia they have only sold i belive 25 YELLOWS and mine is one of them .

Yup, very true!!! Until late 1990s though. After that Silver is the great colour- for refrigerators, stoves, dishwashers and Camrys:D :D :D :D My refrigerators, stoves, dishwashers are all silver. And no, I don't have a silver camry.:p :p

Bummer about yellow.
Silver would be great if there weren't so many f*#%ing silver cars all over the place.
There should be some colors reserved for fast cars and I vote for "In-your-face yellow" and "arrest-me red"

"boring" people think yellow is too flashy.... LMAO!!!! ur picture looks like ur pretty boring too LOL.... thats wats wrong with generalization... its all about preference and i dont remember people putting down yellow... yellow is a great color on the rx8, and if they were going to drop a color, the green should be dropped... adding white and the mazdaspeed blue would round out the group nicely

While I figure that out try this link...

The pearlescent effect is made by the mica specks. The shade of white is kinda middle white or very slight off-white.

Is there any more confirmation on this? There are a couple yellows around town, and I decided a while ago, yellow or black. I have a black MX-6 M that I could never let go of, and I live in Phoenix so yellow it is.
If this is true, it will definitely increase their value. Maybe I should go get one. There is one with yellow leather up town that's actually on ebay right now.
However, I have waited this long, I might as well wait for Mazda to fix the damn MPG and HP issue. Although from the sound of it there may never be a yellow RX-8 with the updates.
