Just because you can doesn't necessarily mean you should...
Given how limited a pallette a lot of modern cars come in I'm surprised this was even an option!

Looks like a variation on 'Hearing Aid Beige'


I find the limited palette of largely dull colours awfully, well, dull and disappointing

Cars should be painted in lively, bright colours... Dull should be deprecated...

They were good, despite being a Ford

I like those wheels too

Nope!
I did have a bright yellow Imp, hand painted. More to p**s off the directors at work who looked down on 'unsocial' vehicles, i.e. anything not their new Rovers, MGBs and Jaguars.

Re: Favourite colours for cars
You are cordially invited to post something up which would turn your heads gentlemen.
Something silver or grey which looks the same as anything else in the supermarket carpark perhaps?
Mark 1 Cavalier for me 100% more interesting than the 4 Mclarens the 2 Maserati's and the Ferrari I came across the other day
Enjoy the rear view!
