So why did you pick Oxford White?
Mine was the least fun/most engineering way to do it.
The Over Thinking of Doom process!!!

- Velocity Blue. She Who Must Be Obeyed (SWMBO) said no. Crap.
- Carbonized Grey, SWMBO choice -great color and easy to lose in the parking lot as a grey SUV. SWMBO changed mind due to lost in parking lot.
- Throw out this decision making process as it is too emotion based.
Ok new process - This is an off roader and as it will be used as such it must be scratch repairable to not cause SWMBO complaint issues down the road. Metallics are difficult to paint repair scratches. All metallics out.
- Area 51, Cactus grey, Black, race red and white left.
- SWMBO throws out Race Red to false notion Red gets more tickets (blue does). As lowly husband I am unable to convince her of the insurance company data and of the Red Coat argument about being able to hit pedestrians and minimizing the appearance of splattered blood. Red is out.
- Still live in the south, Black is beautiful but too hot. (Plus black shows all scratches and dirt) Black is out.
- Area 51. I feel this is going to be a color people look back on as a fad. In the direct Sun it looks cool, but it looks washed out in every other light. As beauty is in the eye of the beer holder. Area 51 is out.
- Cactus grey- it’s primer with a clear coat over it. Doesn’t stick out as it is in the grey category. So nope.
- And by process of elimination, we choose Oxford white. Easy to repair scratches. Due to the contrasting MIC top and white it sticks out better than all the grays. Easier to coordinate accessories. Cooler in the summer. Easier to do maintenance due to spotting leaks and light reflection
That is the extremely boring and practical way we chose Oxford White. How about everyone else?
