This is a hard choice, I would say either Black or Silver because they show off the lines of the SL very nicely!!

White does nothing for this generation of the SL. I am really not a silver kind of guy. I love the bold and elegant look of black followed by a soft beige interior.

Nearly any color looks good on a SL

But any of the Silvers/Blacks and even the red would all get my vote! Brilliant Silver looks the best IMO.
