Any orange or red and I'm out of the future market of your car.

Azurite is black so scratch that. It has to be Yas or Tanzanite for me. I'd have to think hard which one if I were building one.

Another consideration is cloth with kids & dog. Our dog chews cloth like crazy in the house but has not touched leather yet. I'd go one of two directions:

Purist build: YMB/Black Cloth/CF Roof
Luxo build: Tanzanite/Leather (not sure which kind)/Moonroof.

Bummer that the Competition package that sounds necessary for grip/suspension takes you to 20" wheels, not a fan of those stars (a rip off MV Agusta IMHO). I like the 18's with the fat sidewalls or the gray 19's.
It is said that the extra width of the 20" rear wheels/tires makes a difference.

The orange is different than the 1M (Valencia Orange). Sakhir is more red.
