Default Best Koup color

Just want to know what paint code everyone thinks looks best on the Koup. Whether you're simply biased or maybe wished you could have got another color (i.e. if the color you wanted wasn't available or you changed your mind after your purchase). Since I may end up in a Koup by trading up from my sedan I would like to know. I currently have titanium but I'm also into the thought of color coordinating wheels n such (like fas93 - Red Koup & Red wheel lips). The thought of yellow on black is tough too. Just trying to get some ideas.

Racing Red is in my opinion, the best color for the Forte Koup. It's extremely vibrant and I get plenty of comments on how "red" my Koup is. The only issue I've had with my Koup is that the racing red color is soo vibrant that a lot of cameras cannot get the correct hue of red when taking pictures in daylight.

I like my Spicy Red, and Racing Red does look nice, and I like that Lemon Twist in the Caribbean (can't get more vibrant than that ), but I'm gonna have to go with white.

Titaniums looks sporty and luxury at all times , it's the best IMO.

Spicy red all the way, it's red enough to catch a few double looks but doesn't catch the eye of the law

Ugh I friggen hate that my camera can't pick it up. I need to borrow a good camera.

Even though I love my racing red, you can't really pair it up with different color combos. I really like titanium, and white, because you can put those two colors with any other color as an accent color.

After two years of owning a Black Koup, I wish I had gone with Titanium or Spicy Red. Haha, keeping a black car clean in the winter is impossible. I wish I had got to see Titanium under sunlight before I made my decision...that paint really shines on a clear day and it almost changes colour from angle to angle.

All in all, I still love my Black Koup but it's a bitch to keep clean!

Haha...No I actually didn't forget but my dealer told me he wouldn't be able to get one and has never had one on his lot. I don't know if that's BS, that he can't get one but I drive by there allot going to work and I know I've never seen one either. If copperhead was available that might be my choice because I did find some wheels that would look amazing with it. That's the only reason I did not put it up, since there is nothing I can do about it in my case. For this pole it was to help me decide but I totally agree Copperhead Koup and FEARtheFox, copperhead is a great choice in paint code. Any other choices you're willing to settle for to help me out?

I have the black and love it, but I saw a racing red version with some pinstriping and pimped out to the fullest at the dealership that made me consider--just for a second--going red. definitely my top two.

If we could get white in the US that would have been my second choice. If I were to choose another color besides my copperhead, I would choose racing red or titanium.
