Another thought about color:

When most cars (read most European marques) are black, silver, gray or white and it comes time to sell it will ulitmately come down to who is willing to sell at the lowest price b/c there will be soooooo many cars out there the same color as your's. Likely, most will be optioned similar so what will set your's apart from the rest? Probably price.

I would have to say that mileage on a car would be the biggest factor in determining the price of all the "German rainy day colours" in the resale market. Most buyers want grey. Most buyers want the lowest miles. That car will sell for the most. No matter the options.
Personalized colours come down to personal taste so that market is very limited as opposed to the "greys" market.
Hey, if you lock into that 10 percent of the "guys who like hot colours" resale market and your car has lower mileage then yes I agree you may acquire a little more when it comes to resale. We are talking maybe 5k? I'm sure it cost much more than that to have your car painted lambo yellow in the first place so we are back to square one?
Don't get me wrong here? I'm a painter by trade, and I love nothing more than colour! I think that the Aston Marquee begs for the traditional palette of it's history.
Just my 2 cents.

For resale, think German colors (silver, black, gray, etc.). For a keeper, chose Vertigo blue, metallic red, etc.
