the roads are sea of dead colors: white, black, or some mix of both

gray asphalt, mixed with gray cars. White lane stripes mixed with white cars.....

That IS-F blue looks pretty good if you don't want monochrome colors...

A dark metallic blue or deep metallic green would be top (other) choices for me.

Personally I'm very tired of seeing so many regular silver/gray cars and refuse to own one.

I would most definitely choose blue or some metallic green.

You're totally right ... not. If you've ever seen both the IS-F blue and Audi Nogaru blue in person, the IS-F blue is a darker shade of blue, and it's a different hue.

Johnnyboy's car, it looks fantastic!

R8s in purple aren't too bad either:

Depends on the car I think. Certain cars look good in certain colors. I wouldnt mind a yellow Porsche for instance but would never want any Lexus car in yellow...

I would do red. I've always wanted to paint my GS bright red.
