All down to personal taste , but like an E-Type i think that Darker Colours show off the Lines of the Griff better than the lighter ones and a Darker Colour is also more discrete .
Am i correct in saying that TVR used a lot of BMW Colours for them ?
Dont see a Griff as being discrete. I think the early E Types suit darker colours later ones I prefer white/pastels. Am i correct in saying that TVR used a lot of BMW Colours for them ?

Re Colours and being discrete , the "Late Great" Motoring Writer and Author ( Motor Sport magazine , Mila-Milia Winner with Moss ) Dennis Jenkinson Ordered Jaguar Carmen Red for his first E-Type Coupe when he took delivery of it from the Factory in 1965 . He chose Red as it stood out against ANY background , which was Vital as he crossed Europe at very high speeds in his E on his way to report from Race meetings . H would often encoounter elderly Renaults and Fiats travelling at a fraction of his speed and needed them to see his as aerly as possible.
In Later years he wrote that to drive fast discreteely nowadays ,it is vital that you attract as little attention as possible to yourself and that bright colours were a definate No for any performance car .
For me personally there is only one colour to have on a griff and that is one of the Dark Blues .
