What is the most sought after, and least preferred colours?

From the lack of interest in mine I fear the least preferred is... um... maybe green?

For me:

Sprint Blue
Broom Yellow
Red
Electric Blue
Met Burgundy
Met Green

Least

Black (Flat or Ink)

I think the shape best suits the vibrant colours, of those Sprint just does it for me. Burgundy and Green can look quite classy.

I like black, just not on the Coupe.

See it's all so subjective although i do agree with Emerson about green even though i liked my green one. They're supposed to be unlucky, green cars are....

My favourite colours for the coupe are;

Electric blue (of course, because i'm too old for yellow or red!)
Red
flat black
Yellow
Sprinty

But i love em all, with the possible exception of inky which is neither here nor there for me...

I love my Scottie, although she is less than a lady....

Sprinty is a lovely colour for the Coupe, as is Chrono grey. I ought to really like Moon Grey, but there is very little paint left on mine to appreciate.

I'm afraid that I do not get the point of Portofino chinny .... neither blue nor pink nor mauve nor cloud9 .

Everyone to their own though - I really dislike the red inserts in the LE seats......

Even though I have ink black, my favourite is still yellow.

But yellow is too loud for day to day driving. Black is nice as a day to day car.

I don't like the cartoon look of the red or sprint blue, but really like the darker blue (can't remember the name).

Least favourite the maroon and the scotts green.

I liked the green colour (think mine is the scotts green? dark metallic) as it is discreet and i could park it anywhere without worrying that it was shouting 'look at me' and inviting idiots to kick or otherwise run over etc... but looks like it has proven a bad choice when selling on... :-(

I have a Scott's Green one and if I'm honest I don't really like the colour that much, but the car was in such good condition that I had to buy it. I previously had 16v in silver (steel grey?) and thought that that really suited the coupe.

Not too keen on the bright sprint blues and broom yellows either.

Broom yellow is king.

Emerson I don't think yours not selling is down to it being green, just a poor market right now frown. Before I bought my 20vt, I never liked green, but it's definitely the sophisticated and mature choice, the gold flecks glint subtly in the sun.

My faves,

Electric Blue
Metallic Wine Red
Moon Grey
Steel Grey

These colours also show off the coops lines really nicely.

Also really like Vinci Grey.

Colours im not too keen on would be standard silver, not sure on the correct name but its a bit boring, the odd shade of green.

Everything else is just in the middle, dont like them and dont dislike them.

Thats not biased in anyway as I used to own a Sprinty too.


Now in the 400+ bhp club!

First coupe i ever saw was a Broom Yellow one, thought to myself, going to have exactly that. Ended up falling in love with a Scotts Green one instead.....
