Default Need advice on color.....

I am in the process of ordering a new F-150 FX4. Have all the options I want, just really uncertain about the color. I love black but am a shade particular and know how hard it is to keep clean and scratch free! ( My wife has a black 2009 Escape Ltd) I'm in between white or silver. Any opinions/experiences on the better color or any good colors I'm missing?

Thanks

If they have green that's what I would go for. I personally LOVE a green truck.

That's a totally personal question bro. Silver is nice... But the most common color for a car or truck. Get silver if you like blending in. Ive had white vehicles and they are beautiful. White is hard to keep clean also, but when it is clean it looks great. You can mix different color decals, accessories that all look good with white.

Black is masculine and just plain bad ***. You can also go for the "blackout" look.

Red is juvenile and flashy unless you have a sports car.

I have always owned a gold/tan F150 and have always got compliments on the color. It's slick and looks great.

Green is a cool color too. My mother has a slick looking green escalade with gold badges.

Isn't yellow an option too? I would only do yellow if I planned on putting black racing stripes on it. I just saw a yellow and black f150 today that looked amazing

Yellow is awesome, if done right.

Seriously? Red isn't juvenile, and black isn't masculine. Colors are colors; they don't have a gender, age, or personality.

To the OP, nobody can tell you which one you'd like the best. Just check out the forums and look at all the pics. The color that you seem to gravitate towards most, buy that

Yeah, I had 3 red rangers and I loved that color it's by far my favorite. When I get ready to get a new f150 I'll be looking for red.

Tuxedo Black doesn't show swirls cuz of all the glitter in the paint.

My XLT is TB with Silver Ingot accent.

Never owned a black vehicle before but this one seems easy enough to keep clean with a weekly washing.

I've had several people ask me if the paint was custom cuz it looks iridescent in direct sunlight.

No complaints.

red juvenile!?! flashy maybe but not screaming for attention like a yellow would!

black can be masculine or feminine

the driver makes the car not the color
