We'll take any hue of pink as a given but I was wandering past a MINI convertible today and thought this colour was like warm vomit.


Conversely, I saw a MiTo yesterday in a deep brown metallic, almost b;lack at first glance, and thought it looked very classy. I can't find a photo or at least not one that does it justice.

The burgundy is a sad kop out colour.... A nothing, seen on things like quashqais with horrid black/grey unpainted bumpers...

SAAB did a colour called Cameo Beige in about 1981.

Sort of beige/pink,appalling shade IMO.

SAAB did have a few shocking colours actually.

I worked at a dealer so saw a few .

I am pretty sure that somewhere there is a car that will suit any given colour smile. As an example, I think the (phoenix?) yellow colour on the E46 M3 looks fantastic in that application but I would imagine awful on most other cars.

One or two Clio V6's came with a colour similar to the MINI in the OP, awesome looking machines in it.

As browns go, that borders on acceptable. Can see a Defender or something in that. It doesn't matter what colour that Focus is, it still looks gash IMO.

(a white ST estate however....)

Grey,white,or silver/gold/gunmetal metallic. That eliminates 90% of the boring,tedious,colourless lines of teaffic I see everywhere
