Favourite colours for cars

[CitroJim]

One of my neighbour's works vans was wrapped. It was very hard to spot. The only giveaway was a bit of lighter blue around the base of a mirror where the wrap didn't quite reach...

This plastic toy-town imitation MG is painted a gorgeous shade of Orange...

Seen Near Halfauds this morning...

This... ...MG is painted a gorgeous shade of Orange...

You may have seen me assembling a number of galleries of EV spottings on the eponymous thread, in blocks of 12 for the various different colours. Not quite there with orange/yellow yet, but grey white black and blue have already been posted and Red isnt far off. Your BYD spotting in Two tone - Coral pink / Urban grey will have to go in a category of Miscellaneous Others

On Monday from the Show this one didn't make my "Random 9" for the classics thread. But it was nice and bright, and deserves a place here.

Oh yes Neil Anything bright orange gets my vote! It improves any car.

I often wonder what an AX and a Xantia would look like in that MG shade of orange

Someone somewhere will have done it and maybe have made it available on the world wide web to find

A previous sortie on this thread led me to the conclusion that this is indeed the only image on the world wide Web of a Citroen Xantia (real car not a scale model) in yellow... orange...a complete blank

Barcelona taxis in Black and Yellow Livery included Xantia's which made it to the scale model world.

Yellow really suits a Xantia I was once keen to have my Activa resprayed or wrapped in yellow as a cure to the serious lacquer peel it was suffering from.

That is a great find Neil

Where you saw that MG Jim and the colour of it = nearly camouflaged!

Halfords= orange!

Agree, there's not enough orange (or yellow) cars about!
