The non-black-non-grey-non-silver thread

[danny wilde]

We have seen many black, grey and silver Astons - no doubt they look good in those colours but - sorry - it can get boring in times. So let's post some pics of Astons in other than those colours, no matter if it is a contemporary, an out of range or a match to sample colour. I am just curious to see some unusual finishings and I'll start with my bahama yellor car.

So is this thread making the rainy-day-grey paint and suicidally-dull black interior mob regret their decisions?

I don't hope so and it was NOT my intention when I started this thread. It's all a matter of personal taste.

Great colour, are those wheels chromed? If so did you get them done or are they factory?

No, the wheels are high gloss polished, not chromed. The car has the sports pack option and it came with the 5-spoke-wheels and I found they didn't match the cars colour, so I bought a set of DB9 wheels and let them polish.

Brumma, really an outstanding colour. Usually you might want to avoid photographing a car in bright sunlight ... but this blue finish makes a rare exception. Love it!

Is that Vertigo Blue?

Come on ... what's that permanent talk about resale value?! Buying an Aston Martin or any other car in that league is financially nonsense anyway ... and I wouldn't care at all if it's a bit more or less nonsense. If resale is important buy a Mini Cooper.

I think an Aston looks good in almost any color (with a few exceptions)! I don't find the greys or blacks the least bit boring, and I see no need to pass judgement on a car's owner because of it. However, I do believe that some colors flatter the curves and lines of a particular car more than others.

Fully agree. And I think there is no judgement on those owners here, at least not from me. My idea was just to collect examples of the not so common colours.

Anybody any more wonderful pic for here?

Come on folks, back to topic now, show your cars!
