My favourites: Cherry red and primer petrol blue (think that's what it's called)
Worst is most defiantly like a pastol pink....end of discussion.

Possibly a little bit of bias on the cherry red by any chance Rhys? :lol:

I'm on the brink of spraying my Mk2 S 'Aston Martin Royal Cherry' which I found on a Gordon Keeble...

"but you can't do that, it's not original...!!!"

 

Oh yes I can... it's only paint!

Some orange haters then.
Happen to think on my clubby it looks beautiful. So do many who comment on it. Maybe it's more yellowish orange then.

Imperial Blue is the best colour on any beautifully designed car :D wouldn't use it on a Mk1 tho, maybe Powder Blue on a Mk1

 

& anything lairy on a racer :D

 

Worst colour full stop is beige :cry:

Favourite colour on a Mini for me, in all honesty, has to be British Racing Green. The 60's shade I prefer more but my Rover Cooper looks gorgeous in BRG Metallic Pearl when the sun hits it. It really pops, you can see all the flecks in the paintwork really nice. Not being biast either, ever since I was a kid, I've always liked BRG. But my other favs are; Almond Green, Black Tulip, Yukon Grey, Harvest Gold, Tartan Red, Volcano Orange and Apple Jack Green.

 

Worst colours although still wouldn't class as worst but Russet Brown, Flame Red, that Silver that the Mini Specials came in, most of the Whites Minis came in (apart from OEW obviously) and that's about it

There's a City E in a local showroom near me - it's in some sort of metallic gold. Don't know the name of it, but it's yuck!


Sienna gold pearl, perhaps?

Best colour for a Van is Green or Grey. Worst is Marigold Orange.

Saloons... love Tahiti and BRG, hate Pink.
