Light Metallics May be Better But Dark Looks Pretty Good Here!...

Silver hides these better. White is not as good.
I agree, Space Gray and Titanium bring out the best in the F10 under most light conditions and hide dirt well.

But, a couple of pictures posted recently make a pretty good argument for the dark metallics. Or, maybe it's just inspired photography with cars that were captured just after a meticulous cleaning.

(The Oyster/Black interior also looks distinctive here.)
