I'm a fan of the black, I think it looks good on almost all boats that have some black in their color scheme. However, damn the interior is hot after a couple hours in the hot summer sun!

What material? I've always been a fan of charcoal grey. Goes with everything.

I'll be the oddball and go Purple. It would look good with the graphics, and you could use a lighter shade that wont heat up or fade as bad.

Silver.........The darker colors attract LOTS of heat and fade much quicker. Justin, I had a red full cover last year on the Cig and went to the dock to go out, could barely touch the boat under the cover it was so hot!
