Right Car Wrong colour ...

[xtriple]

Can't stand British racing green. Metallic or solid, hate that colour.

[Noel Tidybeard]

of course even a really sharp looking design can suffer when its a proper old man colour

:mrgreen:

[warren t claim]

Sadly my car is black which means seven points for any traffic plod playing fpn snooker.

[purplebargeken]

Never really given a rats ass about colour but I do tremble with horror at that chewit purple they painted a few Micras in. That was oddly unpleasant.

[Sudsprint]

They should be khaki, with POLIZIA or CARABINIERI down the sides.

Pino Verde is italian flag green - so very appropriate

[BorniteIdentity]

I think yellow works on any car really because it's such an absurd colour to put on a car there's no point taking it as a serious choice so you might as well point and laugh regardless of what it's been sprayed onto. Mind you this is coming from someone that wants a multicoloured Volkswagen so pinch of salt all-round I reckon.

 

I hear you brother.

 

You're talking to the man who drove 600 miles in 2 days trying to buy the best Focus Millennium he could find.

 

And failed.

[Taff]

Cortina Crusader - nom nom nom

 

ooof!

 

speaking as someone who has owned 5 yellow cars (four of which weren't yellow when I bought them), I often think that what the world really, really needs is another red MGB.

...what the world really, really needs is another red MGB.

 

You can NEVER* have too many of those.

As mine is white that means I must be immune....

I'd happily drive a pink car, but it has to be the right kind of pink.  I don't want to look like a chaffeur for shitty hen nights and proms when I'm just off to the shops for tea and biscuits.

I'll wear pink all day long, happily. Even whilst working in a Cat B mens jail.

But every single pink car I have seen looks like:

 

And, I just couldnt. Not that shade.

 

And it's a moving target. The colours you liked in your 20's are not what you'll like in your 40's, 50's or 60's

 

I dunno, I have three "fave" colours - Red, yellow and white. and pretty much this has been the case all my life so far without wavering. My wife who is a similar age likes blue and again this hasnt really wavered. She doesnt like my choice of bright red and deffo hates the idea of a yellow car, but would drive it. Then again she will drive owt ( read "Farmers Daughter") usually like she stole it and she owns the road.

I like the yellow Freelander. However, I always thought solid red was a ridiculous colour for a Jaguar XJ40.

all big cars look odd in bright  red merc bmw etc

[John F]

I've never liked red Discos:

 

[Andrew353w]

 

It's yellow because I can find it in a car park!

[AlabamaShrimp]

I always hated this colour on Fords

 

 

I've had both a Fiesta and and Escort in it but there used to be millions like it.

 

My XR2 is a dark silver which looks poo and I wish it were red but it was very cheap

[flat4alfa]

This was a list colour on these

 

[Alan_Green]

I'll take the one on the Samsung Galaxy phone. You can keep the rest. You may or may not agree, depending on your monitor.

[flat4alfa]

I had a 1978 Alfasud 5m in this very excellent colour

 

It had zero-cred at the slag wall in my home town

 

 

[cort1977]

Carlton excepted, all of the above cars are entirely to my taste

I love that Carlton, given away free by Max Power when I was about 15 if memory served.   My dad had a couple of Carltons, one was a 1.8 but still a good, if slow, motor.

I'm sure from the picture that is maritime blue/ pov spec blue as it's lovingly known, I quite like that colour

That one ended up going backwards through a Blockbuster Video or something - MP had pictures of the wreckage getting baled. There was a whole heap of red, it was a shocking respray - they never showed it with the doors open for a reason! 

[UltraWomble]

I have a shirt and tie that colour. I find it quite soothing on the eye. But on the car it looks like a sick dong.

[motormatt]

Is it bad that I really have a thing for K11 Micras with that chameleon paint?

[vulgalour]

That colour is even better on the same vintage Primera.

My word!

 

[Negative Creep]

Dark colours rarely suit small cars

 

 

 

But need to be on something larger

 

[Noel Tidybeard]

two different colours micra was bronze/purple, primera green/purple/blue (iirc £150/litre) alot are being written of for minor damage as the paint is squeezed unobtanium

[inconsistant]

 

No.

 

 

No.

[Junkman]

Junkfather had one of these in this colour:

 

 

He had bought it simply on the grounds that it was available at his usual dealership when he needed a new car.

I think I am the only one who ever liked it.
