Favourite colour on a F10?

Looking at ordering an F10 in SE spec and have idea on colour except not white. What is your favourite SE colour on the 5?

Poll only has UK colours available for SE models.

Just curious, but are company cars a very common practice in the UK? I hear all you UK folks talk a lot about company cars and being able to buy BMWs for that. Either you guys are all in sales, or this is common in the UK.

I have yet to see another Imperial Blue F11 here in Norway apart from mine. Dealer said it was the first one they sold with M-sport. But sure, it sucks that you can get it on the 3 series. But then again, there isn't a lot of F10/11 with that color, so maybe there wont be a lot of 3 series either?

Imperial blue is my favorite color on F10/F11. Carbon Black is also awesome, but the detailer I use here said it was very hard to maintain. I also like the Champagnar Quartz and Sophisto Grey II.
