I wish the color comment were true. Model S colors bring a new definition to the work BORING apart from multicoat red the rest of subtle variations on black. Give it a rest already, give us some actual colors that don't have 80% black content.
If we get the same old boring colors I'l be getting the standard no cost color and dipping my car.

Pearl White and Electric Blue don't have 80% black content.
I agree with Twiglett here. My personal, unscientific classification of Tesla's current color choices:

This is unfortunately rather common. Audi:

You can pay $3900 to get the "Audi exclusive customized paint finish, but perhaps a wrap is the better option if you wan't something really special. It's also something you can remove when you get tired of it :)

The Blue and the Black mules look great. However, Model 3's will not sport MS and MX colors.
Choices will be all the fluorescents - green, orange, red, blue, yellow, purple, and a newly discovered fluorescent gray... and any combination of two of those.

Reveal will be July 31st 11.59 pm Hawaii time.
I'm in for florescent gray.

black & white isn't black.
Can't argue with that statement, although I would suggest that neither of them are colors either :D
They used to have green and brown which were quite good, but even they were really dark.
Maybe real colors aren't "upscale" enough?

I'm picking white. I suppose I will have a colorless car.

How about Transparent? That isn't a color either.

Speaking of transparent, do any of the photos we have seen lately show if the cars have a metal or glass roof (I didn't see one)? With the elimination of the metal roof option for the S, I'm now curious if the 3 will have a metal roof option.

Unfortunately all the new shots I've seen are at car level making it difficult to tell. It's shiny, I can say that. All of the prototypes to my knowledge had glass. Maybe someone in CA will chime in if they've seen one in person.

This one is glass:
