Most colors come in MANY, MANY variants/shades/tones. It all depends on the shape of the car and the exact color. I've seen some grey cars that look drab and other shades (especially metallic) that look GREAT.

I love my Cyber Grey.

If your pee looks Velocity Yellow, you may want to drink more water.

I hate the Grabber Orange on the Mustang. It looks exactly like the lines painted on the road. It's an ugly color.
I also don't like olive green on any car.

I have had just about all of the colors. Every time I have had a Bright Red it was vandalized so as a result I like Bright Red the least...

It depends on the car too. I like yellow on my vette, but I think it would look horrible on a Cadillac CTS for example. I'm not a big fan of baby blue since it reminds me of babies (and I went to USC and it reminds me of UCLA). I can think of one car pink might look good on: the recent Ford Thunderbird they stopped making (with the rounded corners). Might look like a car from the 50s. Too bad those cars were garbage.

I love yellow as well, and had 2 yellow vettes and a yellow porsche (repainted from the stock "porsche **** shade yellow" to corvette yellow.

Years ago I hated silver, but met a car designer who told me why he liked silver, and since then, have a real appreciation for the colour (doubt I'd buy silver, to subtle for me) What the silver does is show the car for the lines of the car. Take a look at an old Porsche 550 in silver, and you'll see what he was taking about. A yellow 550 would not show the lines as well.


Regardless, the post is what colour (oops us post Color) I hate brown! I can't thinkg of any car that looks good in brown....

That car looks amazing!

Did you paint the targa bar, or wrap it?

White and baby blue are my least favorite car colors.

Black is OK, but in the summer it absorbs heat too much when parked outside with the windows closed.

Favorite color is medium metallic blue, but its hard to find.

Halo (targa) and the 'A' pillars are painted gloss black.

well lets go the other way. take one model vette so they all look the same. have one in every color thats available and drive them all down the street. which one will get the most attention? the one nobody pays attention to will be the worst color. no offense but probably the silvers and greys imo.

UPS trucks look good in brown. And gold looks good on your car if you are a pimp.
