Geez guys don't loose sleep over it. I've never posted a poll before and prior to assembling the list I had to input the number of lines for the poll in which I put 14. Turns out that was more than the colors offered for 23. Dont worry White Pearl Metallic will not win.

Sure hope the 385 caffeine buyers don’t get upset. 
caffeine should have been a one year color. LBR
was much better and got cut short at one, albeit for red mist. GM willing to do a NFT green car instead of actually making it a color, sad. Guess there’s always next year, hopefully caffeine will be replaced with something that actually sells.

I personally chose Rapid blue in the poll. It's a beautiful color no doubt. The question is how will it age. Right now I think there are just too many companies doing a color similar to rapid blue. Audi, BMW, Toyotas etc. It's kind of like a summer fling to me, exciting at first but wares off. Just not very timeless in my opinion. Now if you were to ask me the color I like the lease I would have to go with Caffeine brown

What do you mean by AGE??? I could take it to mean fade in the sunlight and weather poorly, or I could take it to mean LEAST DESIRABLE in the future ?????

Torch Red because all straight red sports cars aged for me decades ago. They got played out before I was born. I would honestly pick Caffeine or Zeus over TR. I give a pass for burgundies, maroons, etc. because I don't see them as much and would pick Red Mist over those browns.
It's a combination of being 2 things:
1) Jarring/loud
2) Common
Blacks and whites have item #2 but not #1. Oranges, yellows, etc. have #1 but not #2. Red is a notch below those on #1 but still high enough and compounding that with #2 pushes it too far gone beyond any other color.

Caffeine Metallic isn't a popular color now, and isn't "aging well" right now!
I think the list would carry more weight if it only featured the top 10 colors. If that was the case, then Rapid Blue is "winning."
