I know this is completely subjective, but sandglow yellow and russet brown are my least favourite. Mt favourites are Tahiti blue and nautilus blue

Mmmm. How about sandglow with the ltd edition piccadilly 3 tone brown interior? ..... in my mind, that would be THE BEST colour combo :D

Now I'm a practical sort of chap, so for me best and worse really has nothing at all to do with favourites.

Black is an awful colour because it shows every mark, metallic colours are awful because they are a nightmare to spray, white is a brilliant colour, as it's really easy to colour match, but then it's also a nightmare to keep clean and highlights the tiniest area of rust..... And Brown is just awful because well .......it's brown!

In fact lets face it, paint is just over rated! Strip the whole lot off and let nature take its orangey rat look course I say!....... Hoooorah!!

I heard a Mini described as being finished in "British Racing Rust & Primer". Could be appropriate for some I've seen over the years.

Surf Blue is obviously the best. Failing that I like nearly all the unusual colours like Tahiti, Arizona blue and Amaranth.

 

Best mainstream colour I'd go for silver and then red. As for 70's browns and yellows, lets just say I reckon they were a low point!
