Undecided on the color - Smart Car of America Forums : Smart Car Forum

Hi I have not yet configured my Smart car, and I am undecided on my color choice. I know it is my personal choice, but I wanted to hear your opinions on my options. I was thinking of either black/black, blue/black, or blue/silver. I love all of these color choices, but I am unsure.

Thank you.

Black black w red interior. Sharpest combo!

the colors weren't represented accurately at the summer test drives.they had a dark red (almost maroon) metallic while ours is a tomato red/orange non metallic, our blue metallic is lighter/brighter than their dark blue met. and yellow was described to me (since they didn't have a yellow to drive) as a nice light yellow.my car car is a fluorescent greenish yellow, NOT what I was expecting.

I just got my Blue/silver cabrio (so black top). I have received tons of compliments on the color combo. I was a little nervous about blue with the black top, but it looks great.

The 'tomato' red is metallic, its just a subtle metallic and has to catch the right light to show up. My car has the red panels, when the light gets it, its a coppery red/orange metallic colour, really nice! (Well I think so anyway

)

Black/silver/black - kinda looks like a killer whale. That's why we named him ORCA.

I noticed that your avatar is none of the combos you mentioned - white/silver (my new favorite combo).

Oh, ya my avatar doesn't show any of those colors because I just think that picture is really cute. I like how the car is like "hangin'" out at the beach. lol

Anyways....I have seen the white and black combo, black and silver combo, and the blue with black, but the blue looked really dark and I was a little confused about the blue because I thought it was a lighter color....

My color choice dilemma is that I usually wear black, so that is why I thought black on black, but my favorite color is blue.....sooo..... that's why I'm confused...

Thank you for your replies....I will take them into consideration.

I thought the post about the black on silver was very funny!! Killer whale....haha thanks again!!!

I got silver/silver, and would not get it again. Like the two-tone distinction rather than the monotone look. Therefore, I'd eliminate your black/black option, and go with black/silver or blue/black. Both of those combos look great, and each has pros/cons with it. However, the shade of blue is VERY nice.

I am wrestling between the Blue/Black and the Silver/Black myself. We went to Atlanta and Looked on Tuesday and my wife thinks I should go Blue/Black due to me being a paramedic and it suiting me. The dealership told us that the Blue/BLack is the most ordered with Red/Black then Silver/Black being the next popular colors. You can go to the post on the nest page of this section to "Pictures from Atlanta" and see some colors of all the cars (they had about 25 cars on there lot). Let us know what you decide.
