I am a fan of yellow, but I think day glow orange would suit that and make it a lot more visible smile

That's what that shade of green reminded me of.

I also like the idea of a bright orange on that....

Light green or orange .Love the colour - never seen a Seven in that. Look even better if you painted the front wings (as I found with mine - had bare (well,lacquered) carbon cycle wings from new but have just sprayed body colour with a leading edge stripe and looks far better) .

Seriously though, having read many tales of Sevens being involved in accidents because the other driver didn't see the car, I'd have serious safety concerns over driving a car which is essentially camouflaged. Personally, I'd take whatever steps I could to make the car more visible.

+1 needs some day dayglo paint around the nose band and other panels to be seen.

I thought it was green primer ....DOH.

Agree with the cars visibility though all that is needed are the lights to be turned on during daylight

sorry, been away from post - I went with the majority and you're right, it's best to be seen, so i went with warm yellow with white pinstripe border. Looks the DB's but the picture came out sh*te so here's something until I get a decent one. Did the side stripe but took it off after as it looked overkill.
7 grill will be yellow as well.

It's clear.

No stripe.
