I voted Crystal White Pearl, although mine is actually "Whitewater" Pearl. Yeah I know, you say potato, I say pototo 
I think you'll find white is by far the most popular choice. I'd rather it not be, but the vast majority that I've seen on the road have been white.

I went with Stormy Blue. Obviously I have black on my 07 and I'm pretty pleased with it when it is clean. ;^) I think it scratches easily though. I'm gonna work on "blacking" it out if possible.

actually i would have went with the white if the interior is black instead of sand

me and esprit is on the same boat... damn 08 and their sand interior.. hahaha
that's why i started this poll. I'm stuck deciding on which color Mazda 5 to get as soon as I sell my current car.
White was my first option but that sand interior doesn't work for me.

I've seen these 08s in person:
All in all, I would have gone for any if they had manual tranny, except Black or Golden Sand. I owned a black car once and won't go for it again, too high maintenance (I already have a wife). Golden Sand, I just don't dig it.
- Copper Red/sand int. Really nice, but not as 'wow factor' as the photochopped pics. I have the feeling that this color and the Galaxy Gray will make be at least 50% of the Mazda5s around.
- Stormy Blue/black int. (duh!). Very dark, and very dirty on Winter. Awesome sunlight effects otherwise.
- Galaxy Gray/black int. Also nice, problem is that there are plenty of Mazda3s and Mazda6s with that color around here (I just see one parked here next to me)
- Crystal White Pearl/sand int. Liked the 2006 and 2007 much better, but OK otherwise. The sand interior reduces the Zoom-Zoom effect

^^ And I'll add Sunlight Silver Metallic to the list. Just saw one on my way back from work. Just looked at each other in a merging road (base Sport model). Looked at each other like WTF? Weird (boom07). He seemed to be checking the roof racks though . Looks cool, like the metallic gray that never made it to these shores for 06-07.
With that one it adds-up to 5-6 seen in my area (on the road, not dealer) since 05, LOL.

06/07 model with the leather interior is BROWN... looks like spilled coffee.
So is the Stormy Blue Mica more of an actual blue color? Out '07 Sport is Strato Blue Mica. apparently that was code name for purple in 99.9% or all lights and blue if you are at the right angle to the sun on the right day and squint a little...
That said, Ive seen Strato Blue Mica on 3s and 6s and it dosn't suit them very well. On the 5 is is a very nice and somewhat unique color.

Yup, it is more "blue" than anything else, but also it needs some special lighting to see some interesting effects. I saw this pic earlier and made me like it a little bit more. It is the 2009 Mazda6 but the lighting shows the color well. I actually had to double check the code name for it, because with not direct lights it looks so dark/different (2nd pic)

Me likes it too (naughty), but the Mazda6 wagon (or Kombi/Estate in Europe, depending on where you are), won't make it to these shores. Mazda in NA discontinued the Mazda6 wagon for the 08 model and that will prevail for the 09. It seems that the only Mazda6 for 09 that will come to NA is the typical sedan (I think the hatchback will not make it either)
I took a look of the 06 Mazda6 wagon when buying the Mazda5, and it was really nice, but the lack of sliding doors and the lower height to get into the back seat (i.e. baby car seat) killed the deal. They had 5MT though
