Anyone choose their color with RESALE VALUE in mind?

A big corvette dealer once talked me out of buying an Atomic Orange corvette because he kept insisting the re-sale value wouldn't be as much as the other colors-----he emphasized that he would offer me less when the time came for me to trade it in to him........so I got a beautiful Monteray Red------which I traded in 2 years later for an Atomic Orange Z06. The Atomic Orange ALWAYS got positive comments (folks loved it--especially those under 40). Best looking car I ever owned.............and it was a very sought after color when I traded it in (got more for it than I would have if it was another color). Bottom line----buy what you want and enjoy it.........life is too short to worry about the trade-in value because of the color of a car.
I've never considered the resale value of the color of a car when purchasing it (my most recent is LRG). I buy, and drive, a car for me, and let the trade-in/resale value chips fall where they may. I also paint the walls in my house the color I want to live with, not some "neutral" color that may make the next owner happy.
