Okay - Here's an update and a "hint" of what's happening in my world.......Loving it!

I like white but blues photograph much better in bright light and any sort of changing light. White tends to get washed out.

Unless there is some compelling reason to change, go with the original color.

Well - it's all down to bare metal. Likely it hasn't been metallic red for some decades. Intellectually I'm drawn to the original color - because its original. Emotionally - I'm not in love with the color - Hence the dilema....

Personally I'd go with the original color... but understand your choice. Of the three options you've chosen, ask yourself which you could live with forever. Golden Green is terrific and unusual, but bet you'd always be happy with Albert Blue or Light Ivory.

Good luck with your decision...

if you are in seattle, your background setting is always gray or pine forest green, both not the brightest of colors. Yeah i know there's plenty of sun in the summer. So, having said that, metallic red is drab, so doesnt complement. Albert Blue is a dark color. So i would go with the brighter colors you have, golden green or ivory. i would use medium green Tilton graphics on the ivory. But this is my opinion, it is definitely your car and your decision to make. I only mentioned all the above because you seemto already have foregone any religious marriage to original color, which is your prerogative.

As much as I love the Albert blue I vote for the original Metallic red. Because it's the original colour and because it's a very elegant colour that suit an E perfectly.

Seeing "Hester" as you have above would be enough to make me want to put it in its original metallic red.

I guess it's a good thing I don't live there; I might not lose my car in a parking lot but I'd lose it everywhere else!
