In my experience, the silvers and ivory colors have the best and quickest resale.  I personally prefer the more odd original colors, or even some of the crazy GT car colors, and while they seem to do well they tend to take a little longer to sell, or they just take that "right person".

What I really don't quite understand is the lack of vision that so may people have.  I've LITERALLY had someone say things like "man, I'd buy that immediately if only it had moon hubcaps", slap on some moons and they are amazed...

They may not be very many people's absolute favorite, but they're not polarizing colors. Everybody talks about "resale red", but I really don't want a red car unless it's Italian. Red keeps me from even considering almost everything. I love Slate Gray, but there are people who think it looks like primer. Stone Gray is one of the most polarizing colors I can think of. I think it's gorgeous, other folks think it looks like split pea soup.

Almost nobody HATES silver or cream.

I love Kevin's GREEN ONE !!!!!  Also CREAM with big whitewalls !  AND Gregs Blue one!

I like non-traditional (cars) and colors.

Kevin's green, Greg's Blue, I liked the dark green that Tory had on a Super Wide. Stone grey is nice. If I'm going to have a replica or Outlaw, I'm not too concerned with traditional or historically correct ones.

@Stan Galat  I don't think it was that color that caused your weak knees...    but I know what you mean.  That's about the color of my dad's TT roadster with the baseball seats which is why I was leaning more towards Stone Grey like @Joe Fortino's car.. that is one near perfect car.   .   If dad sells the Audi before I get to it...  I may go back to Slate but that Auritium Green is strong too.  ( i may have to go all Calvin & Hobbs eenie-meanie...)

I guess part of the yellow color choice is if you are aiming for the vintage look like the above photo , or the Speed Yellow. Outlaw look ,

I painted my chop top drag bug  “Speed Yellow” or whatever color Yellow toner with no other additives is called , it was bright and everyone loved it…….but I am not sure if you want it as an everyday driver color !

@Erik A Hopperton Very nice choice. If I had been able to commission a build, I would have gone with VW Yukon Yellow, after my much-missed 68 convertible, which is a step subtler still than your Porsche color. When I was shopping I passed up a speedster in condor yellow because the title VIN was missing a digit of the chassis VIN, and the seller's DMV office said "oh, just sell it; nobody will notice."
