Thumbs up New top color

Ok, now that I need a new top, I would like a color different than black for my 05 Suzuka blue. Maybe something unique yet tasteful . Help me decide which color would look good, my choices are:

1. Dark blue
2. Medium blue
3. Medium grey
4. Dark ruby
5. Pepper
6. Burgandy

Also anybody has pictures? I did a search and was only able to find a (light) blue top with Suzuka blue.

BTW thank you all for helping me through my ordeal.

I'd say either dark blue or medium grey.

There are some BMWs I've seen with some colored tops that I don't think look too good, but it's all opinion. What's the closest match to the interior of your car?

Your ordeal?

1. Dark blue
2. Medium blue
3. Medium grey
4. Dark ruby
5. Pepper (if this means black)
6. Burgandy

IMHO convertible tops (unless the car is black) should add contrast. The blue on blue is OK, but just OK. Any light colors look like well, crap, after a year or so, they will show dirt.

Burgandy or ruby? WTF are you thinking?

Stick with black/pepper.

Aren't you glad you asked for an opinion?

Probably the blue Honda top. The first S2k I ever drove was a Suzuka, with blue interior and a blue top. That car was way, way, way too blue.

I'd think the grey would be interesting.
