Had an Ebony and a Melina, if I ever had another I'd want an Amazon. Silver Frost is the only colour that doesn't 'do it' for me.
Owned a Frosty and it was very forgiving. Cleaning it definitely brought out the glow, but not cleaning it was fine for a while.
I currently have an Ebony. Every scratch, every swirl, every blemish shows up. It's a nightmare to keep clean and requires specialist products to detail it. It can take 4-5 hours to prepare it for a show... and then once you get there it's covered in pollen and dust. Removing that rubbish once you get to the show means using a waterless wash. And even then you need to give it a wipe over now and then, unless you're at an indoor show.
And of course if you do go to a show, you're going to get scratches that show up in a way that they wouldn't on a Frosty. Bags, zippers, buckles, children.
But you know what? I would own another Ebony in a heartbeat.

Ebony all the way for me (even if it is a pain to keep clean). A Tourmaline on dark wheels does look very nice though.
Tourmaline 
is deffo the coolest lol tho as Chris says, dark colours show everything, whereas Stripes used to take a week to get dirty lol

Wanted an Amazon and got one, to be honest i do not think there is a bad colour in the range but i do like the US spec white which we did not get.
Don't like any of the Ford colours, the colour I like requires a silver base so frosty has always been the colour I have bought myself, I have just never got round to the top coat as the paint is the final thing on my modification list. Kandi Apple Red
Since seeing Wills Red... I would say Red but I think thats partially down to the rare factor...
But to be honest... I would say Silver, I blame Alan for that

My bike is Kandi Apple Red and it is all kinds of gorgeous. I could sit and look at it for hours.
Been here before, remember?
I originally was looking for a Melina, but bought a frosty, then i had a ebony for a short time, then i had a frosty.

Probably the most commonly recurring thread subject, but it's good to air the debate every now and then.

Definetly one for the w**k bank Rich
Argos (for the uninitiated, not the Argos you're thinking of) is the only place my road bike will be going - their paint is second to none.
As for Cougars I like Frosty as I had one but I love the Tourmaline the most as it would go best with walnut interior trim
In fantasy mode I would have loved to have seen a Millenium Yellow edition as Ford did with the Puma.
