Woo-hoo! I'm an intelligent people!

So must I be

Although saying that my 20vt was bought for the spec, not the colour, but shhhh

Yellow cars must be for the bright too?

I'm going to agree.

Portofino is for the sophisticated gentleman, as is a 16.

Actually, looking at the original 20V/20VT Coupe brochure, Broom is conspicuous by it's absence. Apart from in a small colour swatch at the back of the brochure. At the time Sprint Blue was exclusive to the 20VT, as it was felt only the most powerful car in the range was worthy of the colour

Unfortunately the marketing boys undermined the colour's status later during production by extending it's use to 20Vs, just as the value of LE was undermined by extending the "LE" run to "not so LE"...

Best = ink black, le black, electric blue, moon grey, vinci grey
Worst= portofino blue, broom yellow.

Changed my mind. Your gold brakes will look really chavvy

Dunno if this was intended to enter the best or worse section here?
Here's a speed red one and this one looks as close as one gets on Kawasaki green on a coop.
Best or worse colour

Oh, i forgot, scots green looks pretty naf too.....

Energy Green .... Electric blue......ink black

The coupe looks good in every colour! But obviously best in broom yellow

They're the ones I always used to notice ( and think eughh horrible ) then I fell in love with one

Maybe if Dan gives me his i could grow to love them too!

Well obviously Sprint Blue top, and any other 'loud colours' as i like to call them look great especially white. The dull greens, wines and black just don't cut it in a car with those lovely lines and curves.

Here is a nice pic of mine.

If I wanted to rent your house for a couple of weeks' holiday magooagain would you throw in your motor?

Of course old chap,as long as you promise to clean the Car,pool and sauna after you are finished.

Ok! Using a dod of time management I might give the coupe a sauna then cool it off in the pool, after which I would be prepared to forfeit my deposit.

Green used to be one of my least favourite choices until i got my Scottie, lovely colour when clean.
It is definitely the most 'unlucky' colour i have ever owned though!
Faves - Sprinty, yellow & scottie

least faves - wine red & porto

If we are talking factory standard pre-plus & LE cars it is not so easy. Some colours really didn't work too well with the Black painted lower edges. On early standard cars the darker colours do therefore seem to work best. The Yellow, Red & Sprint Blue look a bit odd.

For me Red & Black are the only two that really work on an LE but I still struggle to understand why they took the best interior feature of the car and painted it silver.

Once you get to Plus spec, or cars with factory Zender & LE kits things change. It starts to become more about the individual car rather than the colour. I have seen cars in colours I dislike that have looked fantastic. On the flip side I have seen cars in colours I expected to look fantastic that didn't - Energy green and Pearl white

There is only really one colour I can think of that I have yet to see a fantastic example of - Ink black.

Check out Naf's Inky Plus.... very nice

Don't really agree. They look more a classic than the later colour coded / bodykitted cars, which (I think) still look very up to date.



Compare that to

Granted they look more classic... but not necessarily better I prefer colour coded but its all down to personal taste I guess

A pearly white in LE spec including the Red seats would have to be my best spec....

Like this you mean?

sexual, i absolutely love that - would be better with Plus interior, but that's still nice

Gorgeous but needs the LE Graphite wheels....

And a standard bonnet.

Favourites:
Ink Black, Scotts Green, Vinci Grey, White

Least favourites:
Broom Yellow and Sprint Blue

Bringing the colour from the outside to the dash and doors sums up the brilliant design of the Coupe and credit to Pininfarina for doing this.

I just think this design feature is wasted on the black ones.
