Best Car Colour?

[aaron_2000]

I'll simply say Cashmere yellow on the GC8

[poing]

Depends on the car but for yellow I like TVR Halcyon Midas



My lottery garage would need a 911RS in it but the problem would be picking between Rubystone or Mint Green. Both colours look better in the metal than on photos.

White on anything Japanese.

Loved the electric blue Renault 5 turbo.

Point is correct with Rubystone, awesome colour.

Sprint blue on TT's

Audi Merlin Purple is fantastic.

[Dannbodge]

BMW Techno Violet

As has already been said - its very car / shape dependant, but I would generally say black, even though its a pain to keep clean and swirl free

You realise the OP said BEST colour right?

The Riviera Blue in the background of the second pic would be worth a shout though

Depends on the car Red looks fantastic on a 355, but awful on an Esprit. The Evora S looks great in white (even my wife, who hates white cars, said that the other day), but imagine a Civic Type R in white! eww...

Or beige. You'd have loved the 70s.

TVR Spectraflair silver

Never owned one, but it has to be a green for me, my favourite probably being the Alpina variety:



On the 911 theme, I do like Irish Green too:

I'm probably a bit of a heathen, but for me there isn't a Ferrari out there that doesn't look better in black

Not at all from my perspective - red is such a "look at me" colour, and I hate attracting attention. I'd argue the 456 and 550 look better in grey or blue though.

I love the C1s in that sort of "grape" colour...


I'm also a big fan of that lovely metallic red that some Renaults and Mazdas come in....

+1

Love it when it's clean and catches the sun, loads of purple flake in the paint.

Volkswagen ultraviolet is really nice too, seen it on a Scirroco R.

Whaaa? I can understand not liking German diesels in white, but a Civic Type R should be in Championship White, Honda's heritage colour!

How about a lime green S2000 - apparently only seven were sold in the UK across the nine years of production!

In true PH fashion, I shall attempt to back-up my gross generalisation with a single example Rob




Of course, there's every chance that if Ferraris were best known for being black I would now be extolling the virtues of them in red!

Seconded for that red on the Renault. Looks stunning.

Just to confirm, by saying "not at all" I was referring to you beaing a heathen - I agree with you entirely.

The only paint which was really made me stop to admire it was on a Zonda in the Pagani factory in 2006. It was this amazing, multi-layered yellow, which had more depth than the Atlantic.

Aside from that, I don't really care. I drive an orange car.
