    I'm trying to decide what color to go with, I know it's personal preference, but does anyone regret choosing the color they picked? And why?

    Black......I had mine for two years traded it in for a white one. Nothing looks better then Black after a fresh wash and wax. Except 10 mins later its dirty and scratches stick out like a sore thumb.

    I really like the Inferno but I thought it might me to much to maintain, so I love my SSM. Different lighting conditions change the look enough to keep it interesting.

    Love my MGM.

    Was going to go with Black/White until I saw them in person.

    White = Construction truck/work truck
    Black = Pain in the ass to keep clean however when its clean it looks sexy

    I wanted a MGM, or a Spruce. I would up with a White but for the mileage that was out it I could pass it up. I now love a White truck. Remember White Trucks Matter.

    I have black, love it , till it gets dirty, then it just looks fine. bought one of the last 15s, so I had to settle on the color. Told the dealer anything but black, -3800.00 off of sticker, I took it, it looks tough.

    All my life I have had black cars and trucks pain in the ass to keep clean. This time I went with a MGM color and it was my first choice this time wanted to switch it up a little bit. If I went with another color it would have been white

    Almost guarantee that will be Pro exclusive just like inferno was for the 2015's.

    MGM was the only color I would buy. However at the time they didn't have that dark silver (little lighter than MGM) color. If I was buying today, it'd be a tough choice between MGM and the dark silver.
    Black sucks - too hard to keep clean. The wife's car is black and when it's clean it looks awesome, but it's a PITA.

    EDIT: Looked it up, I guess it's Silver Sky Metallic. But my Dad's '05 Silver is way lighter than the newer Silver Sky Metallic.

    Wasn't sold on blue until I saw an OR in blue. Looks good with the little bit of black break it up. Without, it was too much. I honestly wanted Barcelona red, but very happy with my BBP.

    I have MGM, love the color. Does get a little dirty but harder to notice until you are up close. The only two colors I would have gotten were silver sky or MGM, I like lower profile colors.

    Had a black truck before, way too hard to keep clean and to keep swirls from showing up.

    Never been a fan of white, too vanilla for me.

    Inferno, blue and red were out because they were too high profile.

    And I actually considered quicksand and thought it looked pretty good until I saw one person say it looked like the type of diarrhea a sick dog sprays on your carpet and I could never get it out of my mind.
