I too have gone for pearl white as I was unsure about the hue in the red. Impossible to judge from photos as red is notoriously bad to photograph accurately. If the red looks ok then I may change.
Same. Though TBH I’m also feeling tempted by the basic white just because scratch repair will be that much cheaper and easier. Sevenon said:
I've gone for standard white. Pearl white has the sparkly flakes in the sunlight, but the general colour is off white and 'cream'.
Depends on the shade of pearl. My Evo is Pearl, on mine it is bluey white. For me I'd want my rally car in a rally car colour so it'd have to be flat colour.Captain Obvious said:

I believe the pearl white is the same one available on the GT86 and Supra. Which definitely looks cream / off white in real life and videos. I'm with you that the standard flat white is a rally colour for a supposedly rally car 
If I get bored, I can whack a load of rally decals on it

Yes, static display and they were locked They did have a red GR as a course car, but I didn't get a pic of that one.
Black is good as long as you don't go out in it, I have a black TME, go down the road and it looks as if its never been cleaned.
I can see your point, although any other colour will get the same dust/dirt on it, so if you are a cleaner, its good to see the dirt ;-) and if you are not a cleaner but a driver, you would not care that much about the dirt (just kidding a bit) They did have a red GR as a course car, but I didn't get a pic of that one.Black is good as long as you don't go out in it, I have a black TME, go down the road and it looks as if its never been cleaned.
I think like the black the most, although it would be best to see all colours/cars next to each other and take a walk around them, to look at them at many angles to see what looks best (for yourself)
lovely pictures.

Being up north, it will be a while before we get a 'static' display car. One of my concerns is the seating position, I am 6' 2'', so if you see any tall persons milling about or maybe you are around that height, possibly have a look to see how they fit?
Only 6' I am afraid but will feedback on seating position, head room, pedals etc

The red one is standard, the black one isn't and has Ohlins, if the GR handles as well as that on the road, I'll be happy.
Fantastic, that's a superb pair you have there, and, fully agree, if the GRY handles anywhere near the Ohlins-equipped TME then I too will be super happy! Incidentally, I am in the process of swapping the Bilsteins that were standard on my 2010 Exige S RGB with an Ohlins 2-way adjustable setup.
Upgraded from OEM Konis to a 2-way adjustable KW V3 set up on one of the Clio V6 255's and that made a night and day difference to its dynamics, especially controlling the body roll and weight transfer of a car that weighs 1,400 kgs with a fairly high centre of gravity due to its rather tall, and heavy, V6 engine mounted quite high up.
As far as I can see the GRY has none of these foibles...
