I was very attracted to the idea of having a yellow S2000. Then I saw the car in pictures, and in real life. I quickly realized that was not the color for me. So I opted for Silver/Black. I knew I could live with that color combo, and it has really grown on me. The lines on the S are so much more visible.

However, the color I really wanted, but just couldn't wait for was white/red. Love that white/red/black color scheme.

i've always hated yellow on cars.. the stook in yellow is the only one i'd even consider cause it actually looks good. i don't even like it in millenium yellow on z06 vettes.. i picked silver/red though.. others in order go. picks up all the lines and the red/black interior has alot of pop to it. black with red int. also looks pretty sweet but it would be a pain to try to keep clean.. my current car is black and in texas with the heat and unpredictable weather your pretty screwed on keeping a black car clean. white w/ red int also looks pretty sweet. but again would be a pain to keep clean. hmm.. maybe blue.

No doubt in my mind, silver shows off the car's lines the best. I like how it's a very unique silver too, much darker than most you'll see.

We had a choice of color? All of the dealers I shopped at had no idea what colors their S2000's were. I guess I could have passed up each car until I got the color I wanted. Too risky for me.

I got the red by chance and I am very glad about it.

I originally liked the idea of the blue, but as I couldn't see one in the flesh at the time I was unsure. After seeing a couple of S's I chose the Silver/Red, and couldn't be happier.

Actually I wish I'd got the blue if only to make the US guys envious

I'll say this now, but I won't admit to it later; I do believe that silver is the best color for the S2000, as far as showing off it's lines and to represent it's futuristic technology. It's classic and will never go out of style, no matter how long you have the car.

But Yellow has got to be the best color for the S2000 if you have a kiss-my-a$$ driving style. Bright yellow absolutely says "Take No Prisoners." and "You'd Better Notice Me Back Here, 'Cuz I'm Coming Through!" I think Yellow defines the outstanding dynamics of a 9000 rpm redline auto. While is too tame, black makes the lines disappear and red is too common on the road today. Yellow is a unique color and the S2000 is a unique car. A perfect match.
