Default Bad Color Or Not??

Is the Mulsanne Blue on a 1970,1971 with the dark blue interior a good look to most.Thinking about this or the basic red.Thanks for your thoughts!

The Mulsanne blue is a bit lighter than the Bridgehampton blue [available in the same years]. I like the Bridgehampton blue with the dark [medium] blue interior. Mulsanne looks better with bright blue, I think.

My '71 is Bridghampton Blue with a dark blue interior. I've always liked the color combination. Red is cool too, though. Both colors represent the early 70s well.

Dark Green is my favorite color, had a 65 GlenGreen roadster/Black interior ( wished it had been Green) 71 Brandshatch Green/Green interior ( really wished I had not sold it) and my 96 roadster is PoloGreen/Saddle interior
