There is one specific reason I chose Spa Yellow - though I'd love the orange, too, if I could have had that. Visibility! I've already got one black car (the blackbird) and NO ONE sees it. You can't imagine the number of times people pull out in front of me, etc. when I'm in the blackbird. And Silver? That's the same as my Accord, and it should be named Michigan Grey after a few days, especially in the winter 
I'd considered red, but I've owned a pansy yellow TR6, a yellow RX7, my FF was yellow and red, and my race van (now Mom's) is also yellow. Plus, her Jag was yellow, as was all of our TVR's. Though this is probably due to the fact we owned 6 Mayflower Moving franchises

I got a Berlina black for the exact opposite reason -- invisibility -- from law enforcement. A cop teaching traffic school was once asked "If you see several cars together on the freeway, all speeding, which one do you pull over?" His response: "the front car, the rear car, the red or yellow car, or the sports car." There's a good chance that a red or yellow S could qualify for three of his choices.

Typically, the only long-distance mileage the S gets is with the tire trailer on the back, so I'm not going that fast. When I've got to do my monthly 1k mile commute, I take the blackbird
