Jesse, nice rig. i am also thinking about color, between slate blue and pewter. Let me know how you like your h2.Thanks </div></BLOCKQUOTE>

For me the colors went like this - other H2 owners please don't be offended....this is just what went through my mind when picking the colors.

Black - Looks Awesome when clean - but keeping up with it will be tough and after a few years black never looks as good as new.
Pewter - Looks great - wife wanted this color. But I have been a long time GM Truck owner and I have seen pewter on every make and model of truck for the last 10 years. For me this is the most overdone color besides black. I wanted to be different.
White - I had a while Denali XL - Love white - easy to keep clean. But in an H2 it looks like a fleet car or cop car. Reminded me of some UN Peacekeeper vehicle. Not that this is bad - but it is not what I wanted.
Maroon - At first I did not like this color at all - but it grew on me because it really is different than all the rest. But still...just not my style.
Yellow - Looks awesome and how I imagine all hummers should look. But kind of makes me think it is gimmicky. Not sure how resale will be. But still sporty and all original.
Desert Sand - Love this look. I think "tank", or "driven in Iraq". I almost went for this color but again I thought it might be a little less popular and tougher to sell down the road.
Slate Blue - the color I chose. This is the color I very first liked. During the day and in sunlight it looks great. Adds a sense of luxury for me. Chrome really stands out against the blue. At night – the white, pewter and yellow all look better. At night the blue can look sorta green but overall still looked good to me. Like I said before – I came from a Yukon Denali XL – and the fear of losing that sense of luxury is what made me get Slate Blue.

One thing is for sure - the color really creates a personality for these trucks. If there were ever a vehicle that had personality - the H2 has the most of it and the color makes each one unique.
