Default Color Dilemma...Santorin or Silver? Help me decide...(m)

I've already ordered a Santorin with Onyx/Silver alcantara sedan, but now I'm thinking Silver will be better in the long run. Help. Thanks.

Default which one do you LIKE better?...

choose that one. Any rationalization of the color of your car is irrelevant if you PREFER one color over another.

Default santorin with blue alcantara...

if you are in to keeping your car clean and you enjoy waxing/polishing...Santorin is REALLY nice. Silver looks great too but I got tired of Silver and switched to Imola and preferred the "statement" of a color and I have a blue car now which is similar to santorin and I really enjoy the uniqueness and look of it.

I ordered the Santorin, but now I'm thinking that the blue will get old in the long run

Default I've heard silver is easier to resell, but its also too common now (M)

....although i have silver too...looking back, i think i should have waited for nogaro

as a side note...santorin with blue alcantara looks PHAT...more than silver i think.

I'm getting the silver alcantara, I'm thinking that the blue interior will be too much for me

Default worrying about resale is like...

getting married with a divorce lawyer on retainer. Cars are second only to computers in how BAD of an investment they are. You buy what YOU like because YOU are going to have to enjoy it and the car is badly going to depreciate anyway so worrying about a color someone ELSE may want when you are selling is not going to lead to happiness day to day ;-)

In the sun silver is great. Is your world hot or cold? My 1st S4 was black, 2nd silver - I'm in LA
