I love the look of the darker colors; black and onyx blue. I also really like the red...
BUT:
I drove my wife's "Rallye Red" Element for a couple of weeks and I decided it didn't suit me. Plus, I live in Atlanta, and I came from Las Vegas, and I've decided the single most important thing in color is the utility of it... if I lived where it was always cold, a dark color might be nice, but it's going to be white from here on out. Moreover, they don't look as dirty as quickly, and the finish lasts a longer time because all the heat is reflected.
Also, when it's all nice and clean and shiny, the dark colors can't be beat. But if I'm honest with myself, my car works for me, and not the other way around - so I wash my cars when I feel like it instead of washing them religiously. So a silver or white doesn't look nearly as bad when it's dirty.
