Re: Need Color Recommedations For 530... (archive)

Grey works with the blues, the blacks and the greens. Wouldn't recommend it with anything light (i.e. silver), medium gray (antracite), white, or warm toned (red). It sets off black, cosmos black, orient blue and oxford green rather well, IMO.

We are down to the final stages...with some restrictions. My wife thinks black gets too hot, I think the beige interior is too yellow...so that leaves grey.

Our current 528 is black with grey interior. What other colors do you think work? We have considered Jet Black, Electric Red, Cosmos Black (my wife thinks it looks dirty), Steel Blue, and Orient Blue. Since the mouldings are body colored and the side/rear lights are clear (right?) a lot of colors may look good.

With white, two blacks, three reds, three blues, three silver/greys, and two greens it would be easy to pick a color. Help!!!

Thanks,

David
