Favourite car colours?

[white_goodman]

What are your favourite car colours at the moment? You can keep your default silver, black and white (although some of the pearlescent whites are quite nice on the right car). Here are some of my favourites from over the years.

Topaz blue and Avus blue (BMW)
Monte Carlo blue (Land Rover)
Volare blue (Fiat 500)

I also really like green but there are not many greens available at the moment. A Chrysler 300C would look great in BRG for instance.
Dragon green was a great VW colour
Viper green (Scirocco) is good but you have to be confident with your choice.

I also liked Diablo red and Antigua blue (Peugeot colours), X-Power Grey (MG) and Broom Yellow (Fiat Coupe).

What are your favourite car colours?

Lamborghini's "Halcyon Midas" yellow, as seen on a TVR Cerbera.
TVR's "Starmist Red", as seen on a TVR Chimaera.
I can remember seeing a Skyline GTR with a full rainbow flip paint job over black that looked absolutely awesome, but just checked and can only find a Mustang in the same scheme.

I love Lamborghini's Arancio Borealis. (Correct name?) Fantastic colour!

Always had a soft spot for:

Tartan Red Minis and Liquid Gold Clio's

[alfa pint]

Anything but fking silver and various shades of grey.

Do like Porsche guards red, Alfa rosso red, biased towards Alfa zoe yellow, any good british racing green. Really fancy a british racing green Jag with a supercharged V8 as the next motor.....

[Codswallop]

Renault's Liquid Gold is lovely.

Midnight Purple III (Nissan)

Reflex Purple (TVR)

Spectraflair (TVR)

Jaguar Racing Green

Nightfire red (Mainly Rover, but found on all sorts)

Mazda also has a lovely teal colour in recent years - anyone know the name of that colour?

I love BMW`s Le mans blue & TVR`s copper cascade & FORD`s imperial blue.

Ford Ultimate Green.

[Negative Creep]

Honda Championship White
Rover Kingfisher Blue

Nissan Midnight Purple


You will rarely find a car that either British Racing Green or a medium metallic blue doesn't suit

My personal favourite is Ferraris grigorio scuro, however needs to be the on the 458



Also nero fuoco on my Alfa 147, I dont have a decent picture but its been described as Mulberry

Silver. I feel I can admit it now it's been usurped in fashion stakes by black and white.

Also orange. I like orange cars.

Edit: glad to see, finally, a discussion on PH about a car's most important aspect.
