Man, it is so hard to pick a favorite; partly because they all look good, and partly because they all look a bit different in each photo. Throw in some photographers with no interest in white balance, and well, I've decided not to limit myself to any one color in my search. These cars are rare enough as it is.

go with, silver, i have black, but silver looks amazing.
And for being low key? I kinda thought that too being that its a basic two door coupe in black. NO, i have people taking pictures all over and yelling out their windows to me asking if I am "james bond" and I have an older V8 version. But then again, there is no Aston Dealership in my area so not many around, although I do see another person in Portland commented on this thread so, at least there is one more around here.

Just traded in my 09 Meteorite Vantage for a Blue GT - trading next week, meanwhile, the Vantage sits next to my desk, and the light in the office makes the shadows of the Meteorite look incredible. Was not feeling so great about downgrading to blue, but I wanted the light grey interior in the GT, and the right options. Thanks for showing the blue picture... guess blue is not so bad after-all.

Majority of Aston colors have pearl in them so they tend to look different when light hits it. My tungsten DBS looks grey with no sunlight and has a blueish almost tealish tint to it when in the sun and lots of flake. Amazing color. My 2009 casino royal DBS is medium grey but when in the sun it shows a blueish tint, when mixing with the grey color it can look a bit purplish.

You really have to be careful when purchasing these cars site unseen to make sure you know exactly the color you are getting and the colors own variation in different lights.

There are black cars with red pearl flake, dark grey cars with gold pearl flake, silver and grey with blue, purple and green flake, and on and on and on. With that said there are also standard, grey, black and silvers.

I was surprised when I saw Onyx Black the first time how much gold flake is in the paint. It's simply loaded with it. And those are just the big flakes. There's even more really tiny blue flakes. When the sun hits it's pretty spectacular.

I changed from Blue car I alsmo bought because I just did not like it nearly as much as my Meteorite, and found an Alloro Green GT without the graphics instead. Just could not go with a dark color that would need to be perfectly clean and not show the shadowing that emphasizes the beauty of the body sculpting.

I have a db9 in tungsten silver and I think it looks great. Buy either way you can't really go wrong. Here is my car.

I vote Tungsten or Meteorite Silver; black is just so tough to keep looking perfect, no matter how little you drive it, store it, or care for it. Although metallic black with gold flake would hide dust and light dirt particles a lot better than just straight gloss black.

Confirmed the color of mine: Meteorite silver. Definitely looks different depending on the lighting.
