Red is such an outstanding color when clean, and it may look cleaner than Asphalt and Raven with a small layer of dirt on it. My neighbors have Asphalt and Raven. Both outdoor cars, and recently we've been bombarded with wind and Pollen. Combined with wet, SF fog, they both look filthy in the sun. They don't look like 2013 models, instead they look old and neglected. I know it's most likely because they don't clean it, but the dirt is really intensified on those dark shady colors. But it wouldn't matter if you hand cleaned it the correct way every 2 weeks, it'll stay looking great no matter what color. 1 week if you work at a really dusty place.

I would go with Red. They're uncommon where I'm from, I'm sick of seeing the neutral colors, and I get excited when I see the Firestorm. It sticks out and enhances the lines of the car in its own way which IMHO beats Silver. In Black and Asphalt, the car appears smaller but the red makes it look slightly wider and more aggressive, especially from the rear.

I mean, that's how I see it whenever one passes me or I pass one.

Your signature pic makes the Firestorm color even more sexier than it already is, I really love the contrast, the car looks really clean in it
