Default What do you think is the best color?

I'm planning to make an order for a 2011 mustang GT 6mt coupe soon and I was wondering what color you think would be best. I was thinking of the Kona Blue metallic or the Black. The kona blue metallica is that dark blue color. I don't want the California special package and I don't want stripes or anything i just want a clean look. I won't even order the Brembo brakes but rather just stick with the stock 18 inch rims and stock brakes.

Do you enjoy cleaning your car once a week? Black and Kona Blue are very dark colors that require a lot of maintenance.

Buy whatever color you like best.

If you are looking into dark colors, Kona Blue is actually a great choice. I love the look of a clean, black car, but past experience tells me the one drive or so with shiny, clean paint is not worth the hours of cleaning required to get it.

I've been daily-driving my Kona ever since the snow melted away here in Maryland. There was a lot of salt work done, but even after two weeks of driving, my car still looks clean. Kona is definitely a good medium between a dark sexy black, and a bright easy-to-keep-clean color.

Asking which color looks best is like asking what flavor of ice cream I prefer. If I were to buy a new Mustang, it would be in Kona Blue. My first car was a Dark Blue Metallic with Chrome Spoke rims.

BTW.....I prefer Rum Raisen Ice Cream!

Depends on taste... personally I think Ford has done an excellent job on color choices this year... as for your choices... Kona Blue looks fantastic during the day, though it's fairly muted at dusk, and IMHO... doesn't look that great when it's overcast.
