Default Gelcoat colours

I'm after people's thoughts about adding pigment to the gelcoat. I've heard that it's easy enough to do (eg, minimal extra cost) and I've seen quite a few pictures of gray gelcoated cars, namely here:



I reckon a gray gelcoated car looks a little more "finished" than the standard white, not to mention easier to touch up and keep clean. And yet nearly all pics of locally made Cobras seem to be done in white. Does it affect the way the car is painted further down the track? Any other reason? I'm leaning towards a dark metallic gray anyway, but what if I decide on a lighter colour, will the gray gelcoat come through?
