Preferred Car Color?

This thread is inspired by something I've noticed lately.

Now I don't know about other places, but here in Wisconsin, there is a growing number of cars that are this butt-ugly dull metallic orange color. I don't even know if one could call it "orange" more like "rusty brown".

And yet people here seem to be selecting this color for their new cars over other, less nausea inducing colors.

So I pose the question...if you could get a new car tomorrow, and have your choice of any color, what color would you choose?

Ewww I've seen a few cars like that. People here seem to have strange tastes for car colours. I've seen a lime green and a hot pink 2005 mustang, as well as the fugly orange on a later model.

My car is a nice extremely shiny metallic blue. :)

I like maroon, or, failing that, burgundy..

That's hard to come by nowadays, which is why I own a car nearly older than I am.. also, because I can't afford a new one. :)

Blue was my choice, although I prefer un-shiny... :)

You think lime-green is bad...I saw a mint-green minivan the other day...talk about an eyesore. :p

I never want to own a car in my life. :gundge:

But since I have to choose: Black, Dark Green or Dark Blue. Or whichever colour is the cheapest.

You'd hate my car. I can shave using the reflection. :)

I take cars the same as I take everything else in life, and that is with a shade of BLOO.

Enough said.

I voted "Stupid Ugly Orange Color" (that should should be colour, by the way </spelling nazi>)

I think I know the colour you meant (that weird metallic copper colour), which I don't like, but it was the closest to the colour I do consider my favourite for cars (or anything). Orange, as in, the same colour as the fruit. My absolute favourite colour, and any car I would have, I'd like it to be that colour.

Regular orange is awesome on a car...it's that ugly metallic rusty orange that makes my eyes bleed. :p

YES!!!! at least you have a clue that back hair is fundamentally wrong. allthough, i have been to alberta, and for some odd reason, there arent as many hairy people as i expected. i was glad of course.

p.s. let me watch next time. i have a disposable razor fetish.

First thing I noticed when I moved to Alberta was people's lack of teeth. :eek:
