Colour Collections?

[Jumpingjackflash]

Good afternoon,

How many people have car collections where all their cars or a few of them are the same colour?

Pictures will be a bonus.

I have three cars in midnight Blue. A total fluke! I didn't try to do that. Just the right cars at the right price at the right time.

My cars are all white

Any pictures?

Michael Fux has an extensive collection and isn't afraid of colour but I struggle to identify a theme other than 'horror'.

Ultimate "colour collection" has to be this Yellow Ferrari one

Given his relationship with Ferrari, I'm surprised he didn't buy this or at least know about it.

Ralph Lauren could be relevant here, as per this extract from a Vanity Fair feature (January 2011) about his car collection:

It’s clear that, for all he pretends that other things matter just as much, Lauren is enamored of the way everything in his collection looks. The cars are arranged by make, not by chronology, which usually also means that the floors are organized by color, since almost all of the Ferraris are red, the Porsches black, and the Jaguars dark green. None of Lauren’s cars is particularly large—“These cars are my size,” he says—and most of them represent streamlining and speed more than sumptuous grandeur, or mechanical innovation. The gallery—oops, the garage—is designed as a pristine, neutral background, so as not to compete with the swooping lines of the cars themselves but to show off each of them as an object in itself.

And if a car doesn’t look perfect, Ralph Lauren will make it so. “These Bugattis were light blue,” he said, stopping in front of a 1934 Type 59 Grand Prix. “I said I wanted them black. I wanted to restore them as I thought they should ideally be.” He moved on to two Mercedes, one a Gullwing coupe, the other a 300SL Roadster, both painted in a color that is almost, but not quite, the standard German silver. Lauren’s cars have a touch of cream mixed in. “I got the right color, I got the right leather,” he said. “These cars are all what you dream they should be.”

Ferrari do make a good yellow. Surprised more people don't buy that colour. They look particularly good with flashes of bee-like black.
