What color, regrets, maybe another color?
I'm not sure if this is a "GAR" or if it belongs in "Members rides", so mods, if it's wrong, sorry and could you move it please. 
Now, as for the question, what color is your Civic, do you regret getting that color and why, and what color would you have chosen, if you could do it again?
I'll start:
I have a black Civic right now, and I kinda regret getting a black one. The paint takes alot of care, cause there are a lot of swirl marks that are a b*tch to get out. If I had a chance to do it again, I'd probably get silver or red.
NEXT.

I have silver, and it is the best. Silver is the easiest color. Red oxidizes quickly. Any dark color, blue, black, green, are hard to keep the little microscratches from being seen. White is a pain to keep clean.

Silver LX (MINE!)
Silver DX (Auto)
Inca EX (The promo car... the one everybody test drives... bleh)

Rep Power: 303 Silver, though if i could have gotten black interior in the blue one, I would have taken the blue. Too many people have silver. Well, it's easy to keep clean, though.
I like ruining your threads.

Rep Power: 0 dealer was all outta Blue, White, and Black in LX models, so i was forced to choose between Green and the "Titanium" color. I went with titanium. I would love to have a black or blue car tho.
red is my favorite colour, before and after.
Sometimes I wish I had a black exterior for when the car gets dirty, but then in the winter I wish I had a silver exterior because of the crap snow leaves behind.
But red will always stand out. Its like eye candy, without the risk of over-fruityness that some cars a doomed with. Some yellow and pastel cars are just eyesores...

Rep Power: 0 Silver. I think it won't get too hot in the summer. It can also be a good getaway car because just too many ppl like them. I've seen 5 idenical silver 7thgen sedans (including myself) travelling down the freeway at one time in the same direction. I'd like to get a red one if Honda has that color for sedan.

Rep Power: 420 Silver for me. It's the most popular car color. White is second. Black is third. Silver is allright. One cool thing is that it stayes cooler than anything except white and another is that it stays cleaner than any other color since dirt is neither black nor white, but somewhat gray. Anyway, I would like a slightly darker silver than I have now, but Honda didn't make it in 2001. Looks like they'll have a darkre silver in 2004 though.

Rep Power: 298 I got white and I hate the interior.That is why I DIY black/red scheme. So now it is perfect.
white is not that hard to clean, it is not like a white shirt. dirt can be clean off just like other color paints. However, white is not too shinny in pictures.
check my DIY and gallery.

Rep Power: 378 Always wanted a black car. So I got one..............and dammit, it's a son-of-a-bitch to keep clean. Will never own a black car again. Probably would go with a Silver if I had to choose again.
EBP is the most elegant of all the colors as it is the most inconsistent of all colors due to the fact under certain light it never stays the same.
CGP perhaps sparkles the most. (It does more than EBP, and it's surprising how many green Civic owners there are that don't wash their cars. What a shame. That color sparkles like a ****.)
The dark colors look best at night. Whenever I see a coupe at night and notice the tail lights, they blend in better on darker colored Civics instead of lighter ones. If I chose a light color it would have to be white... or any other color for that matter.
I wanted black but I'm glad I didn't get it. Black is so plain unless it's on a BMW. I don't like silver - everyone has silver. I don't want to look like an idiot walking to the wrong person's car. lol I don't think there's anything special about silver IMO and I'm not dissing anyone's ride. There are some silver Civics that look mad tyte.
Any color will last as long as you take good care of it. EBP (whether eternal or electron) would probably look the worse if faded. Electron turns straight up PURPLE and I would anticipate the Eternal one would turn green.
As for the tan interior - least I don't have to sit on hot seats. I've gotten over it. Interior color isn't as important as exterior. It's decent to say the least. JMO.
