Bella is Winning Blue.
I have to say, almost every RX-8 I see on the road is silver or gray although on occasion I will see one of a different color parked somewhere, but not too often. Then again, I don't see RX-8s very often anyway.

I see too many greys and silvers aswell, the least colors i see here in miami is white and I've never seen another phantom blue here besides mine.
Also what do you have against the Phantom blue? It's cool cause it changes colors.

I don't care for it too much either. It's okay but I wouldn't buy one. It's too "green" for my liking. It looks too much like teal, which I never cared for much. It's not a horrible color or anything but it's just not what I would pick for my car, just like I would never pick nordic green. Totally wrong shade of green.

I actually wanted the nortic green for the 05 but I didnt get a chance to buy the car cause my old car broke down and I needed a quick car. So it took me another year to get this one. And I like that it is actually more green than blue, especially since I wanted a green one.

Winning Blue always wins. Even though it's been discontinued it will live on in the hearts of all men as a reminder of what once was, and is no more.

In this area (in part due to the recall) I have seen 1 yellow (outstanding), 1 copperred (very unique), 1 black (classy 
), 2 reds (delicious) , 2 blues (counting mine), 2 silvers (respectable) and 4 whites/pearls. Temperature probably dictates color as those from the warmer areas go for the lighter colors and those closer to the cool coast are more colorful. I selected blue because it was more visable in our early morning times when silver and white vanish in the fog and because it seemed to be more acceptable to the wildlife - maybe too acceptable (still trying to get mouse out of car).

I think Phantom Blue is a wonderful color for the 5, but I don't think it cuts it as a RX-8 color. Some colors just work better for certain shapes. For example, I feel Cooper Red is great on a 3, pretty good on a MX-5, but only lukewarm on the RX-8.
