Which individual colour is the nicest?

Me and my two business partners have ordered the 3 individual colours available based on brochures only. Now we have received our cars and we are very happy. However, we still don't agree which colour fits better. I propose to start a poll, everyone to vote. I attach the delivery photos! Feel free to vote:
1) Ruby Black
2) Pyrite Brown
3) Azurite Black
After 100 votes I will disclose which is my colour!

Azurite Black

But I prefer my mineral white over all these; nice when it actually happens that your favorite doesn't cost more than the individual color option would!

Azurite it's very hot! Ruby black is great but might be confused with brown under light.

Ruby has no brown in it at all. It has dark red to purple.
You may be thinking of Pyrite that is in the middle of the picture or the other Individual color Citrin black which has brown in it.

When you compare the first and 2nd picture, it is easy to mistake it for dark brown under light in some angles, maybe not to you but I know I might. Red and brown are close in shades of colors anyway. It is still a stunning color but not "my" top pick between these three.

Ruby Black
I will try to post a new photo of the ruby black colour from a better angle ASAP. Hope that this will help even in reality the car is changing colours...in the sun becomes really ruby with some glowing particles in it, while in the shade looks black...and even more, when is raining it looks a little bit brown red...

I am looking forward to finalize this poll, so I can start a new one on the interior!!!

Its a very difficult color to photograph, always changing from one direction to the next.
Same with many of the Individual colors.
