White is the best color. Yellow is too hot for me and Cognac doesn't go with my riding clothes.

But it goes VERY well, when the helmet has been removed, and the glasses need filling...

That's easy. Look over both colors carefully and then chouse the best color - WHITE

9 out of 10 riders agree, Cognac is the way to go!
Really you can't go wrong, you're going to be sitting in the saddle of a 2014 and they're a dream to ride!

My first Spyder was a 2008 GS Yellow
when I washed it all the dirt in the nooks and crannies would show and took a lot of time to get them clean
When I bought my 2014 I planed on getting the white but when I saw the Cognac in person I changed my mind and bought it
I'm glad I did because the white would be even harder to keep clean than the yellow
The Cognac is easy
Dirt flies right off

I'd go with either white or black. Cognac just doesn't do it for me.

In all honesty, this is of course a very personal decision. Here are few objective points to consider:
Does it easily look dirty (think black and white).
Will it get too hot in the sun (black)
Will the color be dated in five years (cognac?)
Will it stand our more than you want to it to off the road (yellow gets more conversations)
Will it stand out on the road so cars don't miss you easily (yellow, cognac)
Resale value (who knows, but black and white are probably best)
and, most importantly, what will make you most happy every time get on it.
In the end, none of our opinions really matter - you've already picked a winner in any color.

White is just about the perfect, "Blank Canvas", if you've got some ideas for custom graphics and designs...

Now I'm very partial to Yellow. My favorite color. But at the dealer today, picking up my back rest, I saw a red RT and I must say, it was quite striking.
Owned too many red vehicles in my day, but it was very nice.
San Antonio, TX - 2014 RT-S Yellow (of course). Added BRP driver backrest to stock seat. Need to solve Blutooth and iPhone 5S integration problems next.
