I think I'd pay the extra for the Blue Flash Met.

Wow, next to your sig photo, they really look different. But those Daytona Blues can look really dark too in the right light.

But yeah, that new blue is like the world's sexiest pair of jeans!

Is the BFM really that purplish? That looks like a violet almost. Does the scan look like a dead match to the original? A lot of scans throw red into the image and you have to desatch the red out for it to look right.
I know picky picky but we're trying to make a decision here.

Oh yeah I voted for Red but I wouldn't be surprised if I like the BFM once I see it in person on a car.

What shows on my monitor is a bit "brighter" than looking at the brochure. Maybe if I had a flouresent light in the room the brochure would show brighter as well.

well a monitor image by it's very nature is going to be somewhat brighter than a scan to the naked eye, simply because you're looking at light being transmitted from a screen rather than the reflective light of looking at something on paper.
We appreciate the scan though! We'll just have to wait until, what are they saying in the brochure, "late fall 2007" to know what it looks like in daylight.
*edit* flourescent light is too green to be accurate. To truly get true color you must look at colors under sunlight, or at least use a color-corrected light source such as the lights they use to view paint chips in a lab. I should know I used to share an office with the color director at Ameritone Paint.

I'm surprised at how little love is being shown to the Silverstone Metallic...

So Far SOM is tied with Black for 2nd Choice.
Come to think of it, SOM does look good.
This isn't quite right colorwise but you get the idea.
