Mine is Atomic Silver but I got Nebula gray since I wanted the F sport red interior. The Nebula will look amazing when Im done carbon wrapping some things.

Black, and I thought the silver lining metallic was really nice too. Since I am only interested in the fsport models, those are the only colors I looked at. I saw the nebula grey and the ultra white. Those are nice too but I just got out of 2012 StarFire pearl so I was trying to steer away from white.

Definitely ultrasonic blue on the F Sport. All other IS models look great in starfire pearl. Im sure the F Sport would also look great in starfire pearl, shame its not an option

Mine is usb. Since it's not available in the US, I'm deciding between silver lining and nebula gray.

Mine is the Ultra White. I have a Starfire Pearl and am looking forward to the brightness of the Ultra White.

Interesting to note a of this writing, not a single vote on the Silver Lining Metallic. Maybe silver has seen better days.

I think the color interior you want plays into it too. e.g. I like atomic silver the best. I like the red interior the best. I don't like the image of atomic silver with red interior. I like nebula gray, white, black and usb with the red interior. The red interior was a must have -- so the exterior color has to fit that.

Silver is a good all around color. Doesn't show off too much dirt, relatively catchy to the eye. And at times I like it. My problem is it (not necessary Silver Lining) but Silver in general is a bit boring - well that and it's hard to mod a silver car and not still look stock

Great choice for F Sport especially it is exclusive to 3IS F Sport and the LFA.

I thought the ultra white is a solid white until I looked at a 3IS F Sport in the dealership again today. It is actually a very white color with some tiny flakes. The flakes can only be seen when you put your nose to the paint. In Japan, this color is called "White Nova Glass Flake". Now I know why ....

Changed my mind on the Atomic silver. In pics it looks good but in the sun it has a beige tint to it that makes it look odd to me.
