Which color to buy?

Which color to buy?
Hey guys, I am in the market for a new 2003 Audi TT, roadster or coupe. I have yet to decide which yet. I was hoping for some opinions from current owners about selecting the all important color of the car. I am leaning towards dolomite gray or moro blue, but still have my eye on brilliant black and ocean blue. Brilliant red is also nice, but perhaps a bit TOO red. What do ya'll think?

Where do you live?
I have an Amulet Roadster, which I love. But, then, I have always had red cars though this is the first time I actually chose red.
The Brilliant Red looks great on the roadster, but I don't like it on the coupe--you're right, it's a little TOO red. I saw a Brilliant Red Roadster in the bright sunshine, though, and I thought it looked fantastic--actually made me a little jealous.
When it comes to the other colors, though, I fall back on my old standby:
<B>Silver:</B> Silver looks good. The problem with silver is that <I>everybody</I> thinks silver looks good. Why buy such a distinctive car as the TT and then get the same color as all the other cars on the road? I don't just mean TTs, by the way. You really want your striking silver TT compared with that silver Expedition?
Also, the salesperson I bought the TT from had a silver TT and he complained that people kept cutting in front of him because they couldn't see him. Conjecture, granted, but it may be something to think about.
<B>Black:</B> Black looks great! However, you'd better expect to start a second career keeping it clean because the dirt really shows up and it shows up fast. So unless you're willing to devote time and effort (and/or money) to keeping it looking great, I'd steer clear of black.
By the way, an advantage to amulet: when it gets dirty, it just becomes a darker red. The dirt doesn't show up as clearly as it does with black.
The Moro Blues that I've seen are fine, but I don't find them that exciting. To each their own. Dolomite grey might work--I've only seen pictures on the web--but I'd be a bit concerned about the dirt. Ocean Blue looks like a good bet.
Oh, by the way, don't let people tell you that silver is the fastest color. It's definitely amulet. :^)

I'm having this same issue. I've got it down to Amulet Red and Denim Blue...
I can't decide which.
(Yes, I'm buying a preowned TT)
UUUGGGHHH!!! Such a hard decision...

As mentioned below...
I think it is important to see them in person. At one point, I wanted the Amulet Red. When I saw it in person, it was more of a "lipstick red" than I thought it would be, and I decided against it.
Obviously, I have nothing against Amulet Red, and I think it looks nice. The obvious point is that I wasn't sure what I wanted until I saw a few different colors in person.
