Nah, its just no one can really make a color decision for you. They're both great colors, but it will always come down to what YOU think is awesome. That's why I got Ultramarine. They're both dark colors so cleaning them is going to be the same pretty much.

that's the problem though i think they're both awesome... I can't decide but all I know is for the price I have to pick it up soon or it'll be gone
Ultramarine too! All top 3 colors! but yeah just can't decide. I've been going back and forth for weeks

First time I saw an asphalt at a dealer, I thought it was a Raven. True story. Moral of the story go with Raven

I was in same dilemma. It was asphalt and hot lava. Hot lava was leading until I saw the asphalt in person, hot lava was also hard to get, would have to wait another month.

I say asphalt only cuz I have that.

I wouldn't leave this choice to a forum. Pick the one you like...I had my choice between a WR Blue or a Dark Grey Metallic. I picked the WR Blue because i liked it.

Realistically, raven will always look dirty unless you have JUST cleaned it. Asphalt, not so much.

On top of washing, maintaining a Black paint is just much more work over all.

I got asphalt and don't regret it one bit.
