I'm stupid/tired right now lol, I just voted for BB (my car) and completely forgot that since the stormy blue came out that it's my favorite color. I still love black and aside from the stormy blue, is most definitely my favorite. Maybe I over-exaggerate how much I like stormy blue because I really do like the black. Who knows, I'll call it a tie for now.

But everyone knows that the next grey they come up with is going to be the best color available. No doubt about it.

One completely unbiased vote for winning blue. O.K. Now I can uncross my fingers.

I'll give an honorable mention to velocity red. I've always loved red. I've had two red cars and a big reason I went with winning blue was that I wanted a change. However, once I saw VR in person I was almost swayed to choose it over WB. It's much nicer up close than in photos.

That said, I love winning blue. I think it is a great color that really works well on the RX-8.

Cheers

Phantom Blue is the coolest.

WWP is ******* amazing. Copper Red or Stormy blue after that. Then BB, VR. :D

I own a Sunlight Silver, but Whitewater Pearl is, without a doubt, the best color on this car. Personally, I think the worst is Nordic Green, I don't know why Mazda even made it for this car. I'm not really a big fan of Velocity Red either...

I own SS, but voted for Copper Red.

I think it stands out more, while not saying "LOOK AT ME" as much as yellow does. The red/blue/black/etc are all too typical for me to vote for.

Phantom Blue and Nordic Green are the two least appealing colors on the RX-8.

Velocity Red. It's kind of cliche, "red sports car", but it's really a deep red and the flakes look really nice and the lines of the RX-8 are very apparent with it. The body lines are lost in black and it comes out kind of plain looking.

I got PB because it was the coolest. The other 96.32% of you just don't have any taste.

I think Phantom Blue is misleading.

They call the other colors by what they are. Winning Blue, Sunlight Silver.

Phantom Blue should be Super Teal.

But it's good our tastes aren't all alike. Things would be very bland and we'd have nothing to argue about on the internet.

Galaxy gray rules! like it at night when it reflects the orange parking lot lights.

then then maybe metro gray and black cherry. Met gray looks pretty nice in person.
