Dare I be "impertinent" and ask, "Which of the colors you've mentioned do you just like the most?"

I have a little trick I use when I'm thinking (fantasizing) about different cars or trucks I'd like to own. I had a Porsche 911 I restored and it got lots of attention whenever I drove it. I liked it a lot. BUT, I wanted a '55 big window truck.

I would imagine myself pulling up to a stop in my 911 in its perfect condition and imagine a nice '55 big window truck in the same nice shape I wanted. I ask myself, do I wish I were driving THAT? Or am I happy I am in THIS?" Then I know which I want more. I sold the 911 and found my '55!

Maybe the same will work for you by imagining your panel in one color versus another.
