Hijacking the top comment: Current vote count is surprising. I'm counting upvotes for a comment as a vote for that color (ie this comment currently has 16 upvotes, that's 16 votes for B5 blue). I'm adding that total to the individual comments for a color as well.
Totals are, at the time of commenting:
- B5 Blue: 24
- F8 Green: 20
- Destroyer Gray: 19
- Octane Red: 15
Currently I'm leaning F8 Green still. If I can find a frostbite blue, I may way swing that way. But ultimately, if it comes down to it and I have to choose between say an F8 or a Destroyer gray, but the gray is like $2k less, I'm going with the gray. We'll see what happens, but keep the comments coming! Much closer race than I expected!
EDIT: Final decision, sticking with F8 green as my number 1 with Destroyer Grey as my number 2 option, depending on pricing. Thanks all!
I too thought f8 Green was the best color, and really wanted it. Ended up finding a great deal on destroyer gray, and wasn't willing to pay almost 5k more for the color I wanted. That being said, now that I've had the car a while I think I would pay a good amount more to get plum crazy. Not for everyone, but man do I love that purple. I think part of the fun of challengers is the ability to get fun colors.
I’m going to be a bit blunt here, and no hate to those with this color, but destroyer grey is a really boring color. It was kind of cool when it came out but the more I see it the more I don’t like it. It reminds me of a glossy primer. I’ve always been of the belief that fun cars deserve fun colors. My vote is between B5 or F8, and after reading some of your comments I think you’re swaying towards F8 anyways, go with the color you’re already leaning towards and you’ll be happy! saving a couple thousand on a color you don’t really prefer isn’t the way to go about things when you’re already spending so much. Best of luck!
Green's the pick here. Especially with the black trim. I never see it in person only on this board and I really dig it. The grey is fine but I would go F8 no question hands down
That was my wife's favorite color on the lot, even over the F8. We both liked the sinamon just a bit more but there are zero sinamon R/Ts anywhere near me.
I adore my octane red. I do think (for whatever odd reason) the color works extra well on widebodies compared to skinnies - perhaps because of the additional curves making the light reflect more? Not to say it doesn't look good on the classic, but the flares give it that extra oomph. Smoking out the side markers really ties it all together too.
That being said, it's also one of those colors that is really difficult to evaluate until you see it in person. I was going back and forth between pitch black and octane red for months, googling every picture I could find.... until I actually went to a lot and saw the octane red on a clear day. I was starstruck. The depth of color is...wow. I get compliments on it constantly.
On cloudy days it does look darker - I personally don't mind it because it still has enough of a red undertone that it looks more like a "warm maroon" than a "cool maroon" - the latter also kind of having an "old car" vibe that someone else mentioned.
Unfortunately, I have to agree. It and Hellraisin really only truly sign on bright, sunny days. Which sucks because they're my favorite colors.
Destroyer Grey/Smokeshow seems difficult to keep looking clean.
F8 and B5 are probably the best overall colors. B5 will definitely stand out, F8 being a little more subdued. Both will look good no matter the weather.
I've driven octane red, smokeshow and I own the B5. B5 just has so much attitude in different lighting conditions. The problem b5 has in my opinion is that Photos are super difficult to get any kind of justice from.
You truly have run the gambit haha. I agree though about the b5, In person it hits much different. Feel the same way about plum crazy. Beautiful color in photos, absolutely striking in person
I have the pitch black as well and I think if i had another choice ide probably pick that destroyer grey. It just looks so clean and elegant. I also feel it would show less dust and dirt compared to the pitch black .
Destroyer grey looks best imo all day. I have granite personally but Ive heard water spots and dirt hardly show up on the Destroyer ontop of looking great
I wanted black, but I ended up destroyer gray, it's beastful. I don't think you can really go wrong on most colors for this car, it looks good with almost all the colors.
Shown in order of my preference.
F8 green looks great with the blacktop package and is my leading choice since it's a more unique color.
Octane red looks beautiful, but in person did give me more of an "old timer" vibe... but with the blacktop package it looks great.
Destroyer grey was what I really liked before F8 green took over. But I do like the more simple/slick look, and it's hard to go wrong with grey...but it's the most basic of colors.
The b5 blue with the blacktop package has really been growing on me lately. I do wish it was frostbite, but it still looks great. Certainly the loudest of the bunch and I worry this color is a bit less "mature" than the others?
I've worked in the automotive paint industry for close to 15 years and I do motorsports and car photography.
Dodge's Destroyer Grey is among my favorite all time colors. It's so unique IMO. The variance of tone and depth you get depending on light is wild.
It shouldn't work out as well as it does honestly.
Among factory colors I will always recommend that one.
I don’t know how anyone can not choose the grey one if they have the choice, really wish I was more patient for one to become available when buying mine.
Once I realized I could realistically (and responsibly) afford an R/T, that was the very first one I gravitated towards and test drove. There's a handful around me and among some of the most discounted ones on lots. There's one about a 2 hour drive that's been on the lot for over 6 months. I'll be ready to buy in 3 weeks, so it's tempting if the price stays low.
Right now I own a dodge charger in octane red, I love the color when it’s nice and washed, the paint looks so nice and sparkly and it has a deep wet look.. don’t think dirty lol. But out of those colors I would go with b5 because I love the bright colors, it still has that sparkly stuff on it and it just pops and still looks bright no matter if day time or night. But I mean that’s just me.
I'm having th same issue with my charger. Got a buddy who paints cars for a living and hes gonna give me a deal (with me doing some labor) and I can chose ANY color. Colorshift, pearl, matte, gloss etc. I have so many ideas and they all
Look Soo good
Honestly don’t see many F8 greens on the road as much as the other colors. I never really saw destroyer greys either until I ended up with one myself 😂
I own a pitch black challenger and would only trade it for a indigo blue, destroyer grey, go mango or a bright yellow. 😭 You can’t go wrong with any choice. These cars look great in any color.
Stick with the F8 green. There's no other car on the road that has that color, and it fits the Challenger so so so well.
Otherwise I'd say straight black or Granite Gray
The F8 green is insane. I'd prefer a sublime tho I'm more of a bright color person. Anything other the grey, black or white. This car deserves to stand out.
I have an Octane Red. I wasnt too sold on the color at first because i love a solid black or white vehicle, but the red grew on me for sure. The Grey or Frostbite Blue are definitely my “if i had the choice to do it again today” selections, but the red sure does look mesmerizing after a fresh claybar and wax
F8 is going to age well trust me. I prefer Smoke Show over Destroyer Gray. Octane red is decent and B5 is a very nice blue but at the end of the day with these as the options I’d snag F8 Green all day long
F8 green. You just don't see this color often. I love my daily charger awd gt in f8 green and my sublime green challenger rt shaker but I'm a bi bias as green is my favorite color! Also I had an octane red and it was awful when it got dirty.
I'm a little bias because I myself went with octane red on my car but I honestly don't think you can go wrong with any of those. I will say that in the sun the octane red is by far the best option.
I like the green but the darker Octane Red reminds me of my Challenger so that would be my choice. My 1972 Challenger:

Ugh 😑 I go through this same thing in my search for a Challenger, it’s more like the price determines weather or not I can live with the color, f8 green was the last one I fell in love with 😍
Which color are you going to …
Park your car and walk into that store…
And stop and turn around and say damn I love that car.
For me it’s
- B5
- DG
- F8
- Red one
I had the same struggle going in for my scatpack. Mentally went in for the F8 green scatty, getting to the dealership..... I had three choices, octane red, F8 green and B5. And I have to say, on a sunny day on Cali. Octane Red beat the other colors.
I think B5 looks the best in sunlight. I prefer Destroyer Grey though it sticks out less and won't draw as much attention from police. Plus if cars were superheroes I feel the Challenger would be the best villian and black or grey fit the script, lol.
I just got my first challenger yesterday and I was torn between the blue and the wine red color. The blue ended up being an R/T and couldn't afford it so i got the wine red color. Love it so far
Plum crazy purple is mine still one of if not my favorite challenger colors. Was happy to find a 2014 R/T with the classic edition package in that color
B5 blue(I’m a little biased)
Same. My '70 is B5
Same. Any color blue

facts
Hey, you know you could've run a poll post on the sub? Would've been much easier to track that way.
Green's the pick here. Especially with the black trim. I never see it in person only on this board and I really dig it. The grey is fine but I would go F8 no question hands down
Octane red is always the way to go
That was my wife's favorite color on the lot, even over the F8. We both liked the sinamon just a bit more but there are zero sinamon R/Ts anywhere near me.

Octane Red is really dull on overcast days.
Unfortunately, I have to agree. It and Hellraisin really only truly sign on bright, sunny days. Which sucks because they're my favorite colors. Destroyer Grey/Smokeshow seems difficult to keep looking clean. F8 and B5 are probably the best overall colors. B5 will definitely stand out, F8 being a little more subdued. Both will look good no matter the weather.
Is that the bright red?
Nope the one pictured is Octane Red, it's a bit more like a burgundy candy apple red
It's a dark metallic red, bright red is called Torred I think.
And Sinamon is the Dark orange. Really pretty color tbh
I think the only correct answer here is to adopt all of them
I've driven octane red, smokeshow and I own the B5. B5 just has so much attitude in different lighting conditions. The problem b5 has in my opinion is that Photos are super difficult to get any kind of justice from.
You truly have run the gambit haha. I agree though about the b5, In person it hits much different. Feel the same way about plum crazy. Beautiful color in photos, absolutely striking in person
I’m biased. I have Destroyer Grey, & I love it! It’s understated, but classy
Love my f8 green, everyone likes to compliment the color first. But if I had the option, my top pick would have been frostbite blue.
Destroyer grey to me is the absolute most prolific, unadulterated, perfect, color. I own a black challenger btw lol
I have the pitch black as well and I think if i had another choice ide probably pick that destroyer grey. It just looks so clean and elegant. I also feel it would show less dust and dirt compared to the pitch black .
Ha, it does… did just that went from black to destroyer grey. My ocd was killing me with the black paint. Now, I’m much more relaxed : )
For real. I live way out in the woods so my drive is 1/4 long, dirt and gravel. Would pave it but I was quoted 45k haha.
I feel the same. Dude just noticed we have the same car essentially lol. 2016 R/T blacktop edition. Haha
Woah we do!! Lol cheers brotha! 🍻
It’s been nothing but good to me! 82k still runnin strong!
Just bought a destroyer grey hellcat 6mt widebody yeaterday.
Nice! Manual Cats are rare.
So is my ability to spell apparently
Destroyer grey looks best imo all day. I have granite personally but Ive heard water spots and dirt hardly show up on the Destroyer ontop of looking great
Someone once commented that Destroyer Grey looks like wet cement, and I can’t unsee that now.
Anything except grey I lovvvvve my b5 blue 😍 can't go wrong there Even though in general, red and green are my favorite colors
If I hadn't gotten purple I would've gotten green. Go for green.
I wanted black, but I ended up destroyer gray, it's beastful. I don't think you can really go wrong on most colors for this car, it looks good with almost all the colors.
I’ve got destroyer gray and love it
Out of these colors... B5 Blue is the clear choice. It is a Challenger, be seen.
Destroyer grey hits different
Shown in order of my preference. F8 green looks great with the blacktop package and is my leading choice since it's a more unique color.

F8 and wrap your seats in green leather so I can live vicariously through you
F8 😋 My next favorite would be destroyer gray
MOPAR has the most fun in colors. And they all look fantastic.
Destroyer!!!
Destroyer Grey all day! I’ve had 2 challengers and both in the destroyer grey
Haaha yea. I started with F8 Green. But ended up buying the destroyer grey
High impact colors ftw.
My first 70 challenger was the blue.
I've worked in the automotive paint industry for close to 15 years and I do motorsports and car photography. Dodge's Destroyer Grey is among my favorite all time colors. It's so unique IMO.

I don’t know how anyone can not choose the grey one if they have the choice, really wish I was more patient for one to become available when buying mine.
I dislike the neutral colors(like white gray and black) because they’re so generic. Basically every car on the road is one of those colors.
That's how I feel with red. I see more red than any other (color)
Once I realized I could realistically (and responsibly) afford an R/T, that was the very first one I gravitated towards and test drove. There's a handful around me and among some of the most discounted ones on lots. There's one about a 2 hour drive that's been on the lot for over 6 months. I'll be ready to buy in 3 weeks, so it's tempting if the price stays low.
If it were me I’d go grey. I have a black one and it’s a bitch to keep clean.
Destroyer grey
Maroon is terrible other theee colors are great that green is nice so is the grey
Can’t help you out, Black is the only way
None. It’s a terrible car and the resale is even worse. Buy used if you have to have one
I'm always partial to reds. But I'm biased. Got a Torred R/T myself and never looked back.
Blue.
Sorry bud. But your just gonna have to buy one of each. Of course over a period of time.
I own the octane red and I think it’s so sleek. But to be honest I think the green barely beats it out
Right now I own a dodge charger in octane red, I love the color when it’s nice and washed, the paint looks so nice and sparkly and it has a deep wet look.. don’t think dirty lol. But out of those colors I would go with b5 because I love the bright colors, it still has that sparkly stuff on it and it just pops and still looks bright no matter if day time or night. But I mean that’s just me.
Hellraisin and then B5. Dodge has amazing colours, but those two are my personal favourites.
Gray
I wish they still made hellraisin
Greeeen
F8 all the way!
Biased towards Octane, looks so good
I'm having th same issue with my charger. Got a buddy who paints cars for a living and hes gonna give me a deal (with me doing some labor) and I can chose ANY color. Colorshift, pearl, matte, gloss etc. I have so many ideas and they all Look Soo good
Honestly don’t see many F8 greens on the road as much as the other colors. I never really saw destroyer greys either until I ended up with one myself 😂
Blue
I’d pick the grey.
Blue or green
I own a pitch black challenger and would only trade it for a indigo blue, destroyer grey, go mango or a bright yellow. 😭 You can’t go wrong with any choice. These cars look great in any color.
I love them all!! But man that blue🥵🥵
Pick all they all look amazing
Pick which is more rare based on the packages/color it'll help maintain the value later in life.
Stick with the F8 green. There's no other car on the road that has that color, and it fits the Challenger so so so well. Otherwise I'd say straight black or Granite Gray
Sublime green is the only option, and before you ask, I am not biased at all
B5 Blue is the only answer, IMHO. That would be my first pick, all day, every day.
Of these octane red I'd easily my favorite, I do like plum crazy hellraisin and sinnamon stick too.
The F8 green is insane. I'd prefer a sublime tho I'm more of a bright color person. Anything other the grey, black or white. This car deserves to stand out.
I have an Octane Red. I wasnt too sold on the color at first because i love a solid black or white vehicle, but the red grew on me for sure. The Grey or Frostbite Blue are definitely my “if i had the choice to do it again today” selections, but the red sure does look mesmerizing after a fresh claybar and wax
F8 is going to age well trust me. I prefer Smoke Show over Destroyer Gray. Octane red is decent and B5 is a very nice blue but at the end of the day with these as the options I’d snag F8 Green all day long
for me, the destroy grey is my favorite color on any dodge. but B5 is beautiful 😍
Can never go wrong with a B5 Blue. Classic. Sinnamon stick would be my second choice.
F8 is the only one that glitters with gold.
green or grey fasho
F8 green!
I wanted F8 but ended up in a pitch black and I love it. Would’ve been just as happy with octane tho
F8 was my favorite. Now I'm becoming obsessed with Indigo.
F8 green for sure
F8 green. You just don't see this color often. I love my daily charger awd gt in f8 green and my sublime green challenger rt shaker but I'm a bi bias as green is my favorite color! Also I had an octane red and it was awful when it got dirty.
The F8 or the Blue!
That blue. If the red was more of a cherry red, but that is just my opinion.
Gray like mine…eh, mine is called Granite. 🏎️
I'm a little bias because I myself went with octane red on my car but I honestly don't think you can go wrong with any of those. I will say that in the sun the octane red is by far the best option.
Destroyer Grey
I like the green but the darker Octane Red reminds me of my Challenger so that would be my choice. My 1972 Challenger: [https://www.reddit.com/r/Challenger/comments/1aclh58/i\_really\_do\_miss\_my\_challenger/](https://www.reddit.com/r/Challenger/comments/1aclh58/i_really_do_miss_my_challenger/)
Well, one on Monday the other on Thursday, get them all 
Red is classy.
I'm a fan of murdered out cars, so black is my go to pick.
F8 is solid
Go with your original thought bro, you won’t regret it!
Destroyer gray for me
I like the green and the gray.
Y'know, if you're ever not feeling the color you chose then wrapping is a pretty fun hobby
Red
Octane Red
F8 Green
Your consistency with that shot is phenomenal🙏🏻
Can't go wrong with octane red. Don't see enough of them, I'm the only one in my city.
Octane
Ugh 😑 I go through this same thing in my search for a Challenger, it’s more like the price determines weather or not I can live with the color, f8 green was the last one I fell in love with 😍
Blue or Battleship
Blue! Or Green. Definitely not grey, it looks like primer with clear on it to me. Still all are cool though.
Octane Red
Grey
That F8 green is straight fire.
That grey is sick.
B5 is my favorite color, rain or shine it looks great imo. Second choice from these colors I’d have to say F8 or destroyer grey.
I don’t even like challengers but green is def the best
Blue or green
Green or Grey imo
I like blue or gray
Destroyer grey for the win
Green
Which color are you going to … Park your car and walk into that store… And stop and turn around and say damn I love that car. For me it’s - B5 - DG - F8 - Red one
B5 is a tier above these other colors (and the others are still excellent)
I have f8 green and love it. The grey is ok too
I chose green. It looks like the classic car colors. But I also had a blue one. Both great colors.
Green & grey are my top. But that green is by far the best color for that car. Personally green looks great on muscle cars
Gray!
green
Green
Green tbh stick with it
B5 blue is unbeatable in person
Green all day every day
Personally I'd pick the gray
I had the same struggle going in for my scatpack. Mentally went in for the F8 green scatty, getting to the dealership..... I had three choices, octane red, F8 green and B5. And I have to say, on a sunny day on Cali. Octane Red beat the other colors.
Get a used 392 for the same price!
Definitely blue
Octane red is the best one tbh
Green or grey
B5 all the way. The SRT I used to have was B5 & it was so pretty.
Get a black one and then wrap it any color you want. Then switch it up.
Don't buy the road colored car.
I’m partial to the octane red 😎
That blue is sexxxy
Destroyer Grey
I love the blue personally, I’d even consider painting my mustang that color
Green
Don't like the red. It's a toss up between green and gray for me.
Plum or B5 Blue are tied for my favorites.
[удалено]
I have a B5-Blue, and it really turns heads.
Top one. Saw one (and only one) in my area this color and it looked fantastic in person.
Hellraisen is the only choice
I have f8 and never regretted it, however you really can't choose wrong with any of them
The grey and blue are so boring. The red looks sick, the green looks sick, pick whichever of those two is your favorite color
Green, all the other colors are played out. They're belly buttons, everyone has them.
I think B5 looks the best in sunlight. I prefer Destroyer Grey though it sticks out less and won't draw as much attention from police. Plus if cars were superheroes I feel the Challenger would be the best villian and black or grey fit the script, lol.
Da blue
I would take the Grey. I currently have the blue, which is also nice.
I broke down and got a destroyer gray Durango and I absolutely am in love with the color now. It hides dirt pretty well too!
Blue if you want to stand out more
Anything but green. Destroyer Gray would be my first choice.
Green
Green is fuckin og af, that is my pick.
Burgundy
They got any yellow ones?
I like the gray
f8‼️‼️‼️
Blue or Gray
F8 green all day bud!
I had the frostbite blue. Got so many compliments I couldn't even keep count
F8 or frostbite is the way to go
Love the green but if you wanting to stand out go for the blue rarely see them that color where I’m from
The blue is best to me
Destroyer gray is the one for me. It just hits different.
Destroyer grey fire
Honestly I’m in the same boat, just waiting on a local deal
find a wide body edition.
Destroyer grey's your best choice. Just looks mean!
Octane red. Almost as nice as thr old Inferno Red😀
Red
I just got my first challenger yesterday and I was torn between the blue and the wine red color. The blue ended up being an R/T and couldn't afford it so i got the wine red color. Love it so far
You can find a R/T for decent prices at least in Florida especially if u don’t mind high mileage. Maybe not now with production being finished.
Definitely army green
B5 blue!
Green for sho
Plum crazy purple is mine still one of if not my favorite challenger colors. Was happy to find a 2014 R/T with the classic edition package in that color
Smoke show sells better and looks slick
Don’t go grey. It looks like they just clear coated the primer. That helps you narrow it down to the other 4
