What color cars do you hate?
 
I hate ANY car in silver which is the most popular color sold across the car spectrum. The next color I don't like is white (but I think vettes look good in white). Black I think looks good on anything. If you have a silver vette, don't hold it against me. I have yellow which is my favorite. Some people hate yellow.

OnPoint 03-24-2012 09:30 PM

It depends on the car. I'm not a huge fan of white, but a buddy of mine has a white GS with black and red interior and red fender hash stripes.

That car is sharp.

Different cars/shapes do well or suck with different colors.

p.s. I hate pink cars.

wombats777 03-24-2012 09:31 PM

:iagree: It seems like 80% of the cars on the road are silver, gray, black, beige or white. :sleep: I like my cars a little more colorful. But the Vette looks good in any color.

Cybernetic Medic 03-24-2012 09:34 PM

Can I love and hate the same color?

That is me with Black. I love black on your car, but not on mine. Black looks great for five minutes or five feet - which ever comes first - then it needs detailing again! (Except for Wolfdogs - he can get 30 minutes or 30 miles!)

I don't really hate any color, I like some more than others and really do like silver, blue and white but my least favorite would be black. That said, I have an Inferno Orange GS convertible that in my opinion looks the best.

Nick_D 03-24-2012 09:57 PM

I hate that lime green color on the new Camaro SS.

SanDiegoBert 03-24-2012 10:15 PM

Not a hater . . . But I find white or grey cars somewhat tedious. That's grey, as opposed to silver. Frankly, I prefer colors!

Black is way too impractical for a driver, and my cars are drivers.

Vegasr 03-24-2012 10:27 PM

Never been a fan of Gold colored cars. :nonod: But put that color on a vette and I'm sure it would look good.

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 agree olive green is horrible no matter what car it is on . Outlaw it !!!

wase13 03-24-2012 11:41 PM

White and blue.

Scott Simpson 03-24-2012 11:53 PM

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 piss 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....

Black, beige, gold, puke color, etc.

brettbolt 03-25-2012 01:00 AM

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.

red2012 03-25-2012 01:13 AM

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.

Iron Texan 03-25-2012 01:59 AM

Like many have stated, it depends on the car. For example, generally speaking I do not like red cars, but I love Ferrari, and if I was in a position to purchase one, Red would be the only color I would look at. I love dark grey, but not on c5 corvettes. The list goes on and on, but in my book the car is more important than the color.

Pitbull11 03-25-2012 01:59 AM

Brady Kohuth 03-25-2012 03:23 AM

I do not care for grey or silver.I like something that has a bit more personality.I have Crystal Red on my 2010 GS,but I do like the Jetstream Blue and the Supersonic Blue. Black looks cool on any car and I have seen some with white and I actually liked them.Red,is ok but their seems to be a lot of them.

When driving,all the cars you see are so mundane looking and I think the Vettes should stand out. But it all boils down to,personal preference.Further,I don't care what color someone else has.....it is a Vette,and that is the key !!!

designerRob 03-25-2012 07:33 AM

I find that some people like bright colors and some don't. You can almost divide people by bright colors. Some people will only buy black/grey/white/silver. While others will only buy yellow/blue/red/orange. Interesting I think. My bother will only buy silver vehicles. I prefer bright colors on sports cars.

iridelow 03-25-2012 07:44 AM

I have had 3 blue vettes, one tan vette, one black vette and now a silver vette. The blues "pop" when clean, the black stands out the most, when clean, but the silver always looks clean! I will never have another black, just because of up-keep....hard to keep clean. Silver does not stand out like some of the others, but I'm happy with it!

3GenVettes 03-25-2012 07:47 AM

Personally, I like a wide variety of colors, and don't hate any. I virtually always change color when I buy an new car, and color is a tough decision for me because I like so many. I generally prefer the more unique colors over the more common color. There are some colors I think look good on other peoples cars (yellow for example), but I don't know if I'd ever have one in my garage.

Hirohawa 03-25-2012 07:52 AM

There is a recent trend in metallic browns that I think looks like... well crap.

I just don't think a car should be brown.

FortMorganAl 03-25-2012 08:02 AM

Black is the worst even though that is the most popular on the C6. When I see them on the street they always look like they haven't been washed in months. Silver, on the other hand, can be driven daily on wet streets and still look good even going a month or more between washings. But my all time worst looking color for a Corvette was gold. Maybe that's why GM hasn't put gold on a C6.

teenVette 03-25-2012 08:03 AM

I can't stand strange colors that alot of special editions come in. For instance, the lime green or purple daytona Chargers :ack:

Tom/99 03-25-2012 08:13 AM

Silver is not a color I would go out of my way to buy. My 65 coupe is silver. I never liked the color. I also have a white car, two black cars, and two red cars.

teenVette 03-25-2012 08:22 AM

Black!! I love black cars. They look sexy when they're clean. Hard to keep clean, but I love washing cars. It's therapeutic to me :cheers:

My love/hate Corvette color is orange; I love the pictures of the AO cars posted here but I'd never want it in my garage.

In general, some shades of yellow are scary, I don't like dull medium gray (Mercedes has that), med beige metallics and dark sh!t brown.

It depends on the car. I hate yellow and red on Corvettes, but I love it on Ferraris and I love yellow on Lamborghinis. Hate red on any Lambo after the Diablo, but love it on Countachs and Miuras.

Wayne O 03-25-2012 12:16 PM

"Hate" is a bit strong...I've seen gorgeous looking Corvettes in every color. That said some C6 colors I'm not fond of. I couldn't hack having a yellow or orange car day after day. Metallic silver looks fine but in general silver cars don't do much for me. A white C6 (with black accents) can look great IMO. I like red Corvettes but not all reds. Torch red is too orange for my tastes. I like Crystal Red Metallic and of course my favorite....Magnetic Red Metallic II. :thumbs:

I don't hate most colors, but I've the last 6 pickups have been black and the upkeep in minnesota sucks with winter and crap they put on the roads. 24 hours after waxing the truck, it looks like a film of dust found it.

I like prime colors on vettes, yellow, white, red, blue, black, orange.

Did GM ever put that beautiful metallic dark green on the C6 series?

Black looks good on anything because it hides the automobile's lines. Even cars with UGLY lines look good in black because you don't notice their styling.

I saw a black Vette (in traffic) the other day and had to look twice because it wasn't instantaneously recognizable to me as a Corvette. That's when I realized black can act as a camouflage; good or bad.

I think it's true as one posted here on this thread, that silver shows the lines on a car best.

The latest color I've seen on a car that I hate was on a new Camaro - a shade of bright green that actually made me feel ill as I approached it sitting on a dealer's lot. I turned around and looked anywhere but in the direction of that green Camaro.

Cybernetic Medic 03-25-2012 06:57 PM

I was thinking about it a little more, since it's such a monumental topic :rofl:, and I reconsidered white. I mean, I don't hate white but to me at least they look best in a tropic area. Around where I live in the Midwest, a white vette looks so-so but I see member pics from Florida, SoCAL, Hawaii, etc and they look great. Especially a white vert with red interior - classic! :cool: You just have to park it next to a palm tree.:thumbs:

I would absolutely have a black vette if I had a resident detailer on retainer. I used to detail and had enough time fighting with other people's black cars to vow that I'd never own one.

That said, I've liked every color that's ever been offered on the C6 except for Carlisle Blue and Torch and Victory reds (and I don't hate the reds, I just wouldn't own one).

Speaking about all cars in general, this would have to be the car that repulses me the MOST....

I just installed the new wheels and it hadn't had a chance to settle yet and lowering is the next step. :yesnod:

As for me: most hated colors = carlisle blue (were they kidding?) and black (looks cool but requires far too much maintenance to look good.)

Favorite colors = crystal red metallic (current vert) and cyber gray. (Also, I am a closet yellow fan - will never own one but I like it)
