Default Brand New GS350 2013 - What color?

Hi all,

I am about to purchase a brand new GS350 but not sure what color I should go for. I am based in KSA where it is sunny almost all the time and doesn't rain much.

The available colors are as follows:

- Brown Metal (4V3)
- Silver (1J2)
- Black Mica Crystal (217)
- White Pearl (077)
- Grey (1H9)

For the time being, there is only one interior color and that is Ivory.

I have seen the Brown Metal (4V3) (see attached) at the showroom, which I think is also called "Fire Agate Pearl", and it looks very nice but haven't seen it under sunlight. Not sure whether the brown stands out too much under natural light.

What color do you guys suggest I should go for?

I have silver and I love it. Looks sharp and doesn't show dirt. After silver I'd go with fire agate pearl then white.

Starfire Pearl stood out the most. Both our cars will be this color. Don't do regular gloss black. Looks bad too quickly with hairline scratches.

I personally have always lived in a "Sunny" state, and bias to White. However, I sometimes wish I did have a color that would show it's deeper richness after a nice wax job or detail and at night when I'm flying around! Decisions..decisions...

Black if you don't mind spending time taking care of her.

I would also say black would be the sharpest with Ivory interior, but Liquid Platinum shines in any light and can go weeks without washing and still look clean.
