Default 03 Accord Coupe: Which color to get? Silver or Graphite Pearl??

What do you think is a better color for the car? I am picking it up later this afternoon. I can get Silver or the Graphite Pearl. All I plan on doing to the car is tinting the windows. BTW, the car is a 03 Accord EX V6 Auto/Navi.
Thanks for your input.

If the graphite pearl is the metallic grey color, I would go with that.....it will get more attention...and it's a deeper color, but I would say do what you want, it's your car.. :thumbup:

Red would be nice but you can't get it with a black interior. The tan interior with the wood is butt ugly IMO.
I know the decision comes down to me but I just like to get opinions from other people. The car is actually for my girlfriend. I have a 04 Silver Gray 330Ci 6MT on order.
Thanks for all the opinions!:thumbup:

yeah i like red too, but hate ivory interior. i like white too, but wan't black. why can't honda just make all leather interiors black and save themselves some money.

anyways that graphite color is sweet, but i want the 6sp so it's either silver or that blue color for me.

Why are you guys all caught up on graphite? Like black, graphite may look spankin' when clean, but I got a gut feeling that a little dirt will really stand out on a darker shade.

Aside from red, silver seems to look good regardless of whether it is clean or dirty. And by dirty, I don't mean 4 day old snow (any car would look crappy).

I live in Cali so keeping the car clean is easy. And it doesnt hurt that I do auto detailing on the side. So I hope the Graphite looks good when clean. I think the standard wheels, being silver in color, would look better on the silver car though. When I get to the dealer today, he is going to have both sitting next to eachother for comparison. I will take some photos and post them later.
