IMO, monaco blue and sparkling graphite are the colors that light conditions affect most. In fact, sparkling graphite probably looks its absolute best at twilight. To wit:

But since you don't have sparkling graphite in your poll, I voted for monaco blue.

Black and white look like black and white in any light conditions. Dim lighting does nothing to enhance those colors. Monaco blue and sparkling graphite are more complex colors and take on a different character in dim light conditions.

Black sapphire, cuz if the cops cant see you, its not illegal

pittyinSC · 09-16-2008, 07:34 AM

I would probably say Monaco Blue (I have really taken a liking to it)
I would say black, but its 2 dark to see

ArmyBimmerDude · 09-16-2008, 07:57 AM

Montego. At night, no other color comes close. It's amazing.

Why would black be the best looking color at night? lol

Jet335i · 09-16-2008, 08:00 AM

i like jet black (obviously) but montego looks fantastic at dusk.

ruxp · 09-16-2008, 08:03 AM

Sparkling graphite looks amazing as the sun is setting.

Black sapphire looks better than jet black in dim light. Jet black looks better than black sapphire in bright light.

space grey ftw

These polls are so pointless, majority of people will pick their own color......

wildnasty · 09-16-2008, 03:23 PM

This is true. Black Saphhire

Seminole · 09-16-2008, 03:24 PM

No A53?

skim7x · 09-16-2008, 03:29 PM

I didn't! I think Monaco Blue looks gorgeous at twilight and at night, but way to bright during the day. Space Grey too looks great during twilight and at night, but looks like drab dirt during the day (IMO of course!). I got titanium silver, which never looks amazing, but looks good all the time!

Check out vampires. They should give you a hint

exidisjon · 09-16-2008, 04:18 PM

Nicly waxed black ones look nice at night. And NOT WASHED ALPINE WHITE LOOKS GOOD EVERYDAY EVERYTIME.
