Default Which color would you guys choose?

Hey guys, this might not be the right place to post this, but I am trying to figure out which color I should order my 370z in. I am torn between Pearl White or the Midnight Blue. In pictures I think the MB looks better and I like the fact that is not a color you would see much. I don't see these cars very often anyways, but it seems like when I do they are either the white or brilliant silver. The problem is though that the closest MB 370z to me is close to 240 miles away, so I cannot see the car in person to compare it to the white. I have seen the white in person and it looks great, but I am just afraid that if I get it I will end up really feeling like I missed out by not getting the blue one.

So basically does the MB really look as amazing in person as it does in pictures? Does it change a lot in the sun or almost look too purple, like a blurple? One of the cars I was also considering was the Mustang and in pictures my favorite color was the Deep Impact Blue. However, when I actually saw one on the lot the color was a lot more blurple than I thought it would be and I did not really get that from the pictures at all. Do you think the MB would have that same problem?

I just think a MB 370z with some nice gunmetal rims would look pretty sweet, but I am afraid of ordering one and then not liking the color in person so your opinions would help me out a lot. Thanks!

Blue is my favorite color on cars. Blue will also:
1) show more detail in photos
2) be easier to keep clean
3) not be white

midnight blue is a nice color, but the door handles stick out like a sore thumb, so you'll want to paint that darker to match the wheel color or something.

pearlwhite is definitely a nice color on the Z and no need to paint anything on the car.

either one would be a great choice, i think.

Pearl white all the way; I wish I could've picked one up myself, but the pickings were slim.

I think pearl white looks good on the Z but my favorite color is blue and just had to get the Monterey Blue when I first saw it. Since you are buying a brand new one I would definitely go for the Midnight blue. I've seen a couple in person and it almost looks black but when the sun hits the paint the blue really pops out and I don't see many cars like that. You'll have a more rare look with the midnight blue since most cars can be purchased in white.

I say Midnight Blue! I had Pearl White, got tired of it (although I still think it looks amazing). Ended up doing a full color change to a Porsche color. Never looked back lol.

Just saw a MB Z the other day and would pick it hands down. White is just too common.

Last weekend I took my PW Z to the dealer for an oil change. In the dealership waiting room you were able to view the work going on in the garage area.....which I thought was neat and enjoyed watching the techs work on vehicles.

During this time, I observed a black, red, GM and MB being brought in to be worked on. Once I saw my PW come in and go up on the lift, I truely appreciated how much a PW Z's look and stance is much more appealing than other Z's. It's something with the color that makes the shape and lines pop.

I wish our cars came in the cobalt green that was offered on the S14 kouki and Z32, or that sexy blue-green the rx8 comes in
