I do like my white, because I've got a really cool skin on it, with clouds and colorful stripes. But if I replaced it, I like silver, or maybe the onyx...

But honestly, if there was a great deal on it, I'd take pretty much any color.

Still with my launch Phat

but the Lite's better battery life would be advantageous for the forthcoming Ninja Gaiden Dragon Sword and Dragon Quest IX

Possibly Days of Ruin, too, although Radiant Dawn has made me kinda burnt out on strategy right now.

I own a polar white. But the silver is what gets me going. It matches my Powerbook and iPod.

I always liked the classic white, other than it getting dirty, it just looks the best. I Colbalt is definitely a runner up however.

How about a red Spider-man option? Even though Spidey games haven't been all that great on the DS

Hey, I really like my Coral Pink DS Lite (no fingerprints/smudges or dirt in the seams) that I won last November in my office raffle. However, I just ordered an import Gloss Silver DS Lite last week and it should be here any day now! I had a hard time deciding between that one and the Ice Blue DS Lite, but I think I made the correct choice...

I've got a white lite myself but went through quite a bit of stress to get my girl the perfect DS lite (since she was hogging mine ever since I lent it to her when she went on holiday).
First I was just browsing to see what colours were available, and on the amazon.jp site, the pink version (royal pink i think it's called) looks so much pink-er than our coral version, so I set out to get it, eventually getting it from ebay (amazon.jp would not ship electronics to europe). Only upon arrival did i discover that it's exactly the same shade of pink.... However, luck was on my side as first: I won a trip to Tokyo! (hurray!) and second: a colleague of mine wanted me to bring him a DS for his daughter, and didn't really mind what colour, he just wanted it from japan cause they're cheaper over there! So I got the slick metallic pink over there for my girlfriend, and gave my colleague the royal pink one I got off of ebay! (at japanese retail price) So he was happy he had a cheap DS, and I didn't think twice about the price I paid once I got the sleek metallic rose for my honey, who absolutely LOVES it!

And I should mention, I'm a bit envious of her. The metallic pink's finish makes it look like a more expensive device, doesn't leave smudges and she loves the fact that it's so exclusive ^^

The metallic colours really do look A LOT better imho! (I know what I'll be getting should my white suffer a painful death)

I purchased the Polar White on the day of release.
I loved that machine. Hardy, shiny, easy to keep clean. The only thing that would show up on its finish was actual dirt.

Then it got stolen, and I replaced it with an Onyx. The Onyx has as crisp a screen as the PW, however, even fingerprints look like a horrible dirty thing on its finish. I find myself blowing dust off it on a regular basis as well as wiping it incessantly with a small square of silk to try to keep it "sightly".

I miss my PW.

I use a polar white, and haven't really been impressed enough by other colors to buy another DS.
