I'm guessing pollen isn't an issue in the Spring like it is in my area. Every Spring, our cars just get coated with this layer of yellow pollen, and that's when I think how nice it'd be to have a yellow car. But if you don't get a lot of pollen, then this doesn't come into play. I don't know, man. Both colors are great; I don't think you can go wrong with either one. Personally, I went with blue because blue's my favorite color. But I also chose blue because that color has always had a calming effect on me, whereas yellow is more of a bold, in your face kind of color (at least this shade of yellow). Nothing wrong with that, except I don't always want the volume dialed up at 10, know what I mean? The blue is bright and eye catching, yet it's also calming, especially when it gets darker out, as the hue deepens as light diminishes. I guess what I'm trying to say is that the only thing I didn't like so much about the yellow is that it's 'always-on'. And sometimes, I'm just not in that kind of mood. The blue is more mood-versatile, if that makes any sense.
Damn, Semtex... don't get all deep on us or anything!

I think that has to be the best analysis of car color choice that I've ever seen.

So, what're your thoughts on the Platinum Graphite?
