but god damn if it doesn't look gorgeous under sunlight. the flake in that color pops the most out of all of them imo

The first one I looked at was Asphalt. I didn't like it because
1. the flake was too thick through the paint.
2. its a "mom car" color. What you would see on 89098723497 typical cars that moms drive their kids around in. Just like white. Its kinda boring.

funny you should say that. My mom drives a black car.

at any rate, white is really good. you can see the lines of the car like silver but the paint is more interesting, be it in the sun or under a street lamp at night

Nope, because Asphalt has sparkly stuff in it and everyone knows women are attracted to sparkly things.

Whoops, I just realized that my "just like white" comment sounds like I was talking about the whiteout FRS. I am definitely not. Whiteout is an awesome color. I just meant other cars with the generic white color. Its everywhere and they all just blend together.

What is it that makes Asphalt look so good?

Cool thing about Asphalt is it has 4 distinctly different looks:

1. In overcast/diffuse lighting it takes on a flatter really dark gray appearance
2. In bright sunlight it has a really metallic and shiny appearance.
3. At sunrise/sunset it has a nice warm glow to it giving it a more golden-purple hue.
4. At night it appears to be black.
