I think Black, Silver, or grey are the 'safe' colours. Candy colours such as yellow, light blue etc would be seen as 'flamboyant'.

If I was to pick a colour to go with certain celebs or characters, I guess they would be:

Grey = James Bond, corporate looking colour.
Yellow = Paris Hilton, maybe Lakers fans or people whom live in sunny climates.
White = P Diddy (looks kinda Blingy).
Light Blue = Victoria Beckham.
Red = People with a subliminal admiration for Ferrari.
SSB/ Black = The less 'risky' or Risk'e' (with a french accent). Which is why
alot of people choose these clolours.

It's ok if you originally said I was like Paris Hilton! I am tall & wear really tall shoes. Where did I leave my little dog & let's not even get into the after hours videos .... LOL

Well, I love the Blaze Red (of course I have a blaze red) BUT I would have loved to get my coupe in yellow. Did they offer the coupe in yellow?

Thanks Pizzaguy, we thought this color combo was special.
I would've liked the two grey/slate in my SSB, but she has just the slate.
Here's another look at "Angel"

Nope, only in the Roadster.

Congrat and welcome to the gray club! That would be Graphite Club.

Color is a matter of taste. Those with good taste pick black. Black also happens to be the fastest colour.

Kim,
I have to agree with you of course...we are unique and classy by far...but Paris Hilton???? No way....I love driving my beautiful car and it does pick up my spirits for sure....just hate to be racking up the miles on it...but I bought it to enjoy and I sure do...can anyone predict what the most milage we will get out of these car's?

These cars lift your spirit & the yellow ones are the best at it. Of course not everyone is special enough to own a yellow XF. That's why they are the most limited of all the colors (the only color that only came in 1 body style - limited roadster) - they are reserved for the most unique of all XF owners! Taz, Rapps, MsGump, Me ... you get the picture!!

I don't much care for the yellow on the roadsters, Conversely, I would bet I would like that same color on a coupe. Even with the Cedar/ Slate combo. I don't think the roasters have the nostalgic look to it that the coupes do. To me that faded yellow color is a nostalgic color.

I'll go along with patpur. Machine Gray Crystal Pearl is my favorite, which is darker than the Graphite Gray and has quite a bit of Blue metalflake in it. Makes all the XFire satin chrome trim stand out (like the black) but has a really "glimmer-like" look in the bright sun.

Just because I have one doesn't mean I'm swayed by that fact. Yeah, Right!
