I was torn also. I finally went with black because I like the way it shines when clean. Lot's of maintenance - but who cares. My feeling was that there were just too many grey cars out there.

Not sure if I have the colour correct but what about Atlas Grey? I quite like the look of it

My vote is for Seal Grey. Either color would be great. Good Luck

Seal Grey is the choice I chose for my C4S. You don't have to baby it all the time and rock chips are harder to see. I've had a lot of black cars and I do admit the deep shine is stunning but, it seems to chip easier because it doesn't have the metallic flake as the Seal Grey does to make the paint a little more chip resistance.

Seal Grey...definitely. But if you must go black, go with Basalt Black (I think that's it) cause its metallic, and will be easier to maintain. Either color would look great with Cinnamon Brown or natural brown interior. Cinnamon Brown is better tho, since Nat' Brown has some black plastic pieces unless you opt for the $$$$$ full leather.

I am coming from a black into a seal grey. I think SG always looks stunning, doesn't show the dirt if I hadn't had a chance to clean the car that day, but still looks awesome when zainoed. I put the 3M stone guard on the front, and find that it is a lot more invisible than on the black.

Atlas is a special order on the C4s I believe. It is only available on the Turbo and it too is a special color there too.
