I'll admit the Edge colour suits our G6E, but the brighter colours are much more striking.
Silver - I've never understood it. If you ever wanted to dull the look of a car, silver will do the job. They always seem to sell for less 2nd hand too.

That's interesting regarding the yellow / bright blue. I think you'll find that most people will be attracted to the bright colours but see them as too controversial to actually own. Most worry about what others will think of them and would rather not attract attention. As silly as it sounds it's very true.
