Car colour

Joey the lips

Was listening to a coversation in a garage whilst collecting my car and it was interesting. It was two lads discussing what colour car they would not buy. Surprising enough there women seemed to disagree and in fact seemed happy with most colours. They all seemed to agree that they did not like white

Now out of sheer curiosity what colour car would you most likely not buy.

as there is so many I have tried to list what is popular.

This question is multiple choice...

Red or Silver but definately never ever couldn't and wouldn't buy silver. Hate the colour! Oh there is meant to be a poll? Will come back in a min so!



Edit......Hey....no silver!

Noopti

Yellow, Orange, Brown, Purple, White

Depends on the car some cars like the last mk5 golf Gti looked great in white while others look horrible in white

x in the city

who made these votes

wimmins.?


yellow and white..?

Corkladddd!!

depends on the car really, a jordan civic in yellow is nice, a mondeo in yellow however looks like devil puke, but brown on any car is wrong

djimi

The one color Id avoid at all costs on any car is brown. After that it depends on the car.

Wouldn't go for a brown car either,

as the lad in Reservior Dogs puts it: "Mr. Brown: I]after Joe assigns names[/I Yeah, yeah, but "Mr. Brown"? That's little too close to "Mr. Shít".

:D

As said above I think white is totally dependant on the car. Base models never look well in white, but look at a Golf GTI or M3 in white and it's a whole different story.

The extra black/red bits on the GTI set off the white nicely.

I generally think the 5 door Audi A3 is a terrible looking thing but saw one earlier in S-line trim with the darker grey alloys and it was much better looking.

all depends on the car

the only car in yellow worth another look at, well several good looks in fact is this specimen

as for white, the only nice white is a DC5 Teg, maybe the golf GTi also.

for normal cars, greyish silver, black, blue, ferrari red and the like are grand colours

If you want to be insulting, go away and do it somewhere else

OP: I wouldn't like grey, white or black - partly for upkeep and partly because you CANNOT see them in the mirrors on a bad day!!
From the poll - wouldn't pick orange, yellow, brown or purple...
A nice blue or green please!

SpannerMonkey

id be adding silver to that list , hate it, so boring a colour

We don't welcome sexism here, banned for a week.

I am sorry I cannot add silver. Mind you my first car was stone grey skoda silver and i loved it..

Eoin

I've added silver to the poll for you.

As others have said, it depends on the car. But I'm finding it hard to imagine brown being a good colour (excluding bronze). I don't mind silver on a car, but I've had three silver cars now, so would rather something different.

@bluewolf - use the report button next time please.

El Guapo!

I think it depends on the car really. I wouldnt count out any colour unless I knew what car the colour was going on.
Like BROWN sounds like a horrible colour for a car, and it has the most votes so far, but when put into perspective I think it looks the business on something like this.........



But then what do I know................I like the mustard colour M3.....:o

Eoin

That's a good example Dean09.

I think the mustard yellow M3 is called Phoenix Yellow. I like it as well, but could see how people really don't.

Thats it. I couldnt remember the proper name for it. Yeah its kind of a marmite colour alright, you either love it or hate it.

Yes it is!

-Corkie-

Dont like silver either unless the sills and lower bumper are colour coded. I like bright red which will be on my new car when i buy it....

Green is supposed to be unlucky
and
Brown is Yucky

Both those I would not dream of

White FTW

Yellow or orange - they only suit lambo or ferrari and you'd have to be an awfully big tosser to buy one in that colour!

Brabus

Personally, I try to avoid silver as much as possible as its too common.
Every 2nd car you see on the roads is silver, are we colour blind as a nation or what?
Also Black is almost as common, however on some models it looks well.
I like Blue, Red, some Greys and certain shades of Green.
I admit I like the orange on the Focus ST.
Not so sure about Brown, could work on some models.:)

Never consider the colour myself but I think the ST looks good in orange!

ytareh

Surprised none of the lads has said that they WOULDNT POSSIBLY go for pink....Like surely thats the first rule of car colour discrimination...

VolvoMan

I wouldn't buy silver because technically it's not a colour.

Joey the lips

when i say colours like brown i mean varients. Sorry. Should have said that.. Heroic fail

Midnight_EG

Purple, green, brown, and orange.

neilthefunkeone

Wouldnt buy Green, possibly silver...

Eoin

It wouldn't be my first choice, but I'd still drive it:


Would definitely have this in green:


And one for the purple haters!

Mr Benevolent

I love the E46 coupe in champagne, but most people hate it.
