Popular Colors.... guess not ?
How come I have not seen any personal Green RX8's posted yet ??
I'm currently in debate of Trading in my Green 2000 Protege and and adding in the necessary funds to get an RX-8; (only 40,000 miles on the Protege, anyone know a good $$ est. for trading it in?). However, I DONT KNOW WHAT COLOR TO GET !!! hehehehe...
Yellow is def. not me, Black (mi padre's mercedes) shows dirt and smears mad nastily. I have not yet decided if I fully like Blue or Silver.... and I'm not sure if I want to get another Green Mazda.
In any event.... where are your guys Green RX8s......?
-up every night debating.

Ive searched a lot on this forum in the last week or so, have yet to discover many personal Green RX8s. Lots of Red, Blue and Yellow.
I'm thinking Red attracts TOO much attention... regarding the Troopers that is.
Regardless.... Red, Green and Blue are my tops.....

The problem with the green is it looks like black 95% of the time.
In sun, its an amazing colour. Very sea gree/blue background with green foreground. and green/blue sparkly metal flakes.
Probably (in sun) the most amazing paint I've seen on a car.
But when not in full sun its so dark it looks like black.
If it wastn for that (I like in UK, not a lot of sun here) and the fact that I've got a black car now (hard to keep clean and nice looking) I'd have gone for it. Oh that and our green cars are turning up even later than the rest decembere/january).

May I add that your pic catches the "feeling" of Nordic Green very nicely.
The mica is way cool indeed, as with Velocity Red also!
Maybe I'll get a green one too - for Christmas...:D

I have to say, though, it's as bad as black at showing dirt. My poor car looks like I've been mud-bogging at the moment, and all I've done is drive it.

Careful, I bite!
LOVE my green. However, you need to be prepared for people to guess wrong. I've gotten black, charcoal, dark grey, and blue (from the Mazda tech who installed my LOJACK - WTF???).

I'm 100% with mikeb.
You need to see the colors in person. And not only that, in shade and in sunlight if possible. I've been "down" on one or another 8 color via net pics... but when I see it on a lot it I usually do a 180.
