Also - research the GT-R used market a bit - you'll find that, on average, super silver doesn't command the premium charged, but Pearl White commands a higher than average selling price because it is the most demanded color.

The safest bet you can have with buying a car is buying it in a color that is "safe" meaning that people are more likely to buy it over a "fad" color. Safe colors are typically neutral colors, like white, gray, black, or silver.

Magma Red is definitely a sweet color that is in low supply, but you may find that demand for it goes in cycles, as do most "fad" colors like the burnt oranges of the early 2000s (as seen on the Sentra SE-R, 350Z, and a few other brands) and they come back around occasionally on newer production vehicles. Another fad color that will likely die (at least across any other manufacturer that doesn't touch anything MOPAR) is lime green metallic.

Bottom line is - rather than looking at colors that would command a "premium", look for colors that well help hold up your resale value. Or, just look for whatever color you like and F the rest of it.
