Electron Blue is my favorite it looks great in direct sunlight.

I'm also partial to Quicksilver even though some people might disagree. To me its understated, classy and doesn't show dirt and dust.

Color choice is all about personal taste. I like the Dark Blue ( I bought a 2000 Coupe ) and every year of the C5 has a slightly different color " Dark Blue" and " Electron Blue". I joined the C5 registry and they sent me statistics by year on color choices and options.
The Most popular colors are the various Reds, Black, and various Silvers, followed by white and yellow. Blues are less than 10%.

Millenium Yellow is mighty hard to beat. It's a perfect shade of yellow...not too vivid and bright but not yet dim.

Must be the $650 surcharge for the tri-coat. Hmm.
