Getting a new RA, What color should I choose?

Going to be shopping soon for a new RA and trying to decide what color I should get.

I'm torn between 3 colors:
Tarmac black pearl
octane blue pearl
or rotor glow metallic

What do you guys think? what did you end up getting?

I went rotor glow, but I wish I went white. Looks more sporty to me.

I do like the white but it doesn't fit "me". Sounds strange but I don't think Washington and white would mix very well.

Rotor Glow, more unique to this model, but the EVO will be getting it for 2010, so it must be selling well.

i got the black, to match my friend's black mustang.... which he totalled while trying to run from the cops lol.

black has a slick look to it, it's more classic to me than something like the rotor glow. when the RA first appeared in maryland, all the dealers in my area only had one RA in the rotor glow with all the options on the showroom floor...... i waited until they had one in black.

white is a very practical color.... the interior probably wouldn't get as hot during the summer, and it's easier to see at night, but if we were about practicality we'd have bought the GTS instead of the RA

rotor glow looks alright, i just don't know how it would look when it starts fading in a few years... sorta like old cars that are painted yellow, it starts to look crappy.

i never liked the rotor glow, the blue looks weird, it would look better if it was the evo electric blue, the black would be my choice out of those three colors.
i wanted white, but i ended up getting silver and dont regret. Its up to you man, it depends what you like.

I went Rotor glow (had to order my car :/), one reason is because the EVO didn't have it. The color I like the least (and I like all the colors It comes in) is the black, no real definition, everything blends look. Nice stealth look if you like that. I think the white looks really hot, but too much of a pain keeping it clean. My last car was silver, silver looks good even if it's never washed.....but there are soooo many silver cars on the road. Go RG or blue out of the 3 choices.

Well besides the FACT that the Graphite Gray is the best color available (buahahaha!) and you don't have it in your list, i'd suggest the second best, Rotor Glow.

I like all the colors.
I love white, orange and red the most.

Blue is pretty cool looking too...
