Re: Favourite colours for cars
Is the sickly green colour caused by the fact that the car is a Japanese imposter?

They did make a nice splash of colour next to each other which gets a thumbs up from me.

Yellow, and no bias, the other one is revolting in every possible way
It would still look awful even in bright yellow!
And that's saying something as most cars are improved immeasurably when painted bright yellow

Re: Favourite colours for cars
Can't disagree with that, I've had two vehicles painted bright yellow and both would have been laughable in grey or silver etc:
The Messerschmidt KR200 and a Suzuki Carry Van
I had to fill in the windows on the Carry as I couldn't find a yellow van picture!!

Re: Favourite colours for cars
Only had one yellow car. A primrose yellow Imp. It was monkeyshít brown and I coloured it in with Tekaloid.
Rarely concern myself with the colour. Had an Accord that was a nice green, Almost BRG.
There was a very nice metallic purple CX shown on the forum a while back that was the nicest colour that I have seen.
I buy cars on the minimum hassle strategy, the colour is never a concern, hence I have a red Civic - it was right in front of me when I went to see the mechanic to tell him the C5 was bean tins. Never even sat in it, never mind a test drive. It was there, fifteen feet away but blocked in by other cars, couldn't get near it.

Re: Favourite colours for cars
Love that yellow Messerschmidt Mick 
Of all the cars I've owned and despite it being my favourite car colour, I've never owned a yellow one
The nearest was when I was 16 and had, for a while, a yellow Jawa moped!
I was very close to having my old Activa resprayed in Saxo yellow when the lacquer peel became a problem...
I still think a Xantia in that shade of yellow could look gorgeous... It would need metallic very dark grey, almost black, bumpers, wheels and rubbing strips to finish it off perfectly

Lovely

I'd call that colour 'AA Box Yellow'

Re: Favourite colours for cars
Yes you dont get the full yellow experience with all the additional gubbins on it, but probably the only "real" yellow Xantia on the internet unless someone can find another. There is a one on GTA5 but it aint "real".

Re: Favourite colours for cars
It looks like a stylist's sketch to me Mick but it is a perfect illustration of just how beautiful a yellow Xantia could be
