It can depend on the car.
Ferraris look fine in red, but Mercs look terrible.

Worst colour on a car? One chosen for its resale value later on.
Agreed 100%. And to be honest I am quite surprised at the animosity shown to colours including Brown metallic, certain reds and purple. Seriously, purple!? Perhaps one of the rarest colours found on a car - certainly if I was ever in a position to spec a car brand new I'd go for something outrageously purple.Someone even said Laguna Seca - I suppose all M3s should be resale silver/black?
t brown seems to be catching on for German cars but worst of all clear lacquer straight over the grey primer on poverty spec runabouts.

Or the people who like Laguna Seca buy Laguna Seca, the people who like silver or black buy silver or black.Regardless of your opinion, Laguna Seca is a marmite colour, as is Phoenix Yellow and to an extent Imola Red. I was in the market for a convertible E46 years ago and the only colours I was interested in was silver, black or grey (with red interior (or Kiwi on black)). My decision making had nothing to do with resale value, I simply thought it looked best in subtle colours with a lairy interior....

I hear you, but it does seem to me that people on this thread are outright discounting some of absolutely seminal factory colours, Laguna and Merlin purple being some examples mentioned. I too love the red interiors specced on some BMWs, but I suppose for everyone who likes a lairy interior there are equal numbers who want bright (or lairy depending on the individual perspective) paintwork. Each to their own of course, but I'm all for more colourful cars than the current churn of white goods and silver surfers.Regardless of your opinion, Laguna Seca is a marmite colour, as is Phoenix Yellow and to an extent Imola Red.
