The best color for a PRS in your opinion?

[Black Plaid]

Orange, no, red .. no green! Yes, I think green, if it's the right green. There are many.

How about this? Not my guitar and no idea what colour it is but it looks incredible!

But I am partial to red... this is my Paul's guitar

I think a colour is only as good as the top. Stained tops of mediocre quality - especially if enhanced with a black stain before colour - even with a beautiful colour stain - will never really work for me. I realised that after I met my newest addition. A 10 top CU22 in red. Beautiful, although I thought I did not like red.

So, given a beautiful top. My choice would be a more timeless colour, for example a mccarty burst (that I own). Dramatic stains can be gorgeous, but I guess will bore me with the passing of time.

I'm a cherry sunburst or faded cherry sunburst kinda guy. Always loved the look of REAL 58 and 59 Les Pauls.

My CE22's look kind of like old 58 and 59 Les Pauls to me.

This one's kind of faded.

Love my new SE MCCARTY in vintage cherry, hard to beat IMO.

Very partial to the Firemist Burgundy solid color on my 594.

Y’all know I LOVE Opaque, and this is cool…..The White Hb is still my dream, this was destroyed in shipping…….devastating

Bastids!

Hate to break it to everyone, but it’s not even an argument…
The TWO best finishes PRS offers are as follows:
FADED BLUE JEAN-

WHITE TIGER -

Sadly, these colors are unavailable for us mere mortals.
Fingers have been crossed years, that they will somehow bring back these finishes on the Core models. My fingers are now permanently fused together…

While my original comment was April 2022, I did not actually have an example until today... I stand by my comment. Charcoal is the best color!

Bumping old threads? Guilty.

Everything in this thread looks great.

Me, I am digging my current Black & White theme.





In the future I may go custom and probably will want to choose something with an interesting natural wood grain color.

Still after a Northern Lights… someday when I win the lotto.

Whale Blue.

Eriza Verde. I wanted a 24-08 in the worst way. I was bound and determined to wait for a good deal on a used one. The dealer I purchase my PRS guitars from had a ‘21 model sitting on the shelf for a year. They made me a decent deal and I couldn’t say no. The color was the clincher. First brand new one I’ve bought since 1999.

Hard choice, like faded wale blue, beach fade and vintage sunburst myself.
