COLOURS

Just ordered my GT TDI 170 and now have the long wait until it arrives early next year hopefully.
Had real trouble choosing a colour.
In the end I went for Night Blue after looking at all the swatches at the dealers and photos of other colour on here etc. On the whole internet i can only find photos of one night blue Roc, is there anyone on here that has one that can put some photos up?
I have only ever seen white, red and Rblue in the flesh but my choice was based upon the following:
(please note that this is only my opinion, each to his / her own and all that)
Candy White - only really like the white with black wheels and as it is a company car i think it would be too flash. Dont think my boss would be too impressed when it arrived. If it were my own money then yes i would have white.
Salsa Red - personally i have never really liked red cars but know some people who have always wanted a red car. Would be better if it was a metalic but it is just not for me.
Rising Blue - lovely colour, i used to have a 205 GTI very similar, most common one i have seen around here although still not that many. Main reason for not going for this one is that the boss's daughter has one and we couldn't have two the same colour in the car park.
Deep Black - real looker but think the black hides the black grille, door trim etc a bit too much for me. Main reason for not going black is that my current car is black and i am bored of it and the constant polishing.
Indium Grey - my second choice, my only worry would be with the merlin cloth interior everything would just be a bit too grey.
Viper Green - maybe when i was a bit younger, a bit too loud for me.
Sumatra / Dark Oak - difficult to judge this colour i think without seeing one in the flesh so i have avoided it.
Reflex Silver - nice but recently has a Golf GT TDI in this colour and it doesn't do much for me now.
Silver Leaf - funny sort of colour in my opinion and cant decided if i like it or not, not even seen any pictures of one.
