Now that some time has past. Has people perception of the colour on Coupe's altered?
It still seems to me in the LE category at least that Vinci is the most popular colour?
What do you think? Have some colours got better or worse with age, what is your favourite?

I never liked the louder colours to be honest, but I'd love a sprint blue Plus now  Vinci is probably one of the best colours though yes.

Portofino is, and always has been the best colour for a Coupe. Thread can now be locked.

I love Vinci LE coupes, having owned one, its my fav coupe colour for sure. The only thing I do think though, is that the LE Titanium details are slightly lost IMO.... My ultimate coupe would be a Vinci Plus ( which I know doesn't exist! ), with air bag 'Recaros' and all the other plus bells n' whistles....

I can't honestly see why Vinci is special other than for it's rarity - but if you want any shade of grey/silver I suppose they're ok

Even though I've never seen one in the flesh, Chrono is also a favourite of mine, but I'm probably in the minority. Ever since I saw a moon grey at stanford hall a few years ago I wanted one, now I have it and I'm happy

When you see a really tidy Energie Green i think they look well. Electric Blue is very nice also.

If I was to get another Coupe it would either be in:
Porto, Sprint Blue or LE Black.
My favourite is still Scots Green, but having had one I wouldn't want to be reminded of it with a new one (if that makes sense!?).

Another Sprint Blue or a Black LE will be my next colour Coupe, if something ever happens to mine. I do also like Chrono, Moon and Vinci Grey, along with Portofino and Electric Blue, Speed and Wine Red. Ink black and Scotts Green are nice as long as they are kept very clean. Yellow suits the Coupe, but too happy a colour for me I'm afraid

Am I the only person that doesnt love vinci grey, or are there others out there?  It's not a bad colour, but it wouldnt be my top choice either. No you're not the only one, i'm not too keen. Far too many grey/silver cars on the road anyway, and Vinci just looks dull to me

Far too many grey/silver cars on the road anyway, and Vinci just looks dull to me See that is what I think. Perhaps I am just used to it. But it looks so so good. But then sometimes I think I fancy a change to more of a standout colour, which would normally be more like me. Though perhaps its just the red seats that help it stand out enough to me.

Slightly biased  , but I do love my Scottie, and the Moon is now  . Not fond of the various shades of red, and I'm afraid that however many I see, I do not get Portofino (is it pink, mauve, purple/murple  ). Silver is just, well, silver. The Chrono at Brooklands last year was great and unusual. I like the brighter colours (Sprint and Broom), and Nismo's Electric Blue is superb. Everyone to their own... after all, you wouldn't buy one if you didn't like the colour

Portofino is, and always has been the best colour for a handbag. Thread can now be locked. Sprint Blue. If I could find a decent Sprint Blue Plus (is there one?)

Where I work most people have either a new or nearly new car. The carpark looks boring as most of the cars are either black or silver. My porto stands out nicely.
For me the best colours are porto, broom yellow and electric blue. I think my next Coupe will be broom. I don't see the point in having a colour that makes the car blend in with all the boring motors on the road these days.

Joe let me drive his energy green Plus the other week, and I really liked the colour. Rare as hen's teeth! Not that rare - Senny Dave is selling one for less than £3k that he's spent loads on restoring and he's had little interest. Certainly one of the best value Plus's you could get

I've been trying to avoid replying to this one as a] I'm amazed how many folk have avoided mentioning a Broomy, b] my choice is probably predictable, and c] no my perception hasn't altered - thing is when a respray has been freshly carried out or has been subject to Patch-attack the coupe looks ravishing in any of the colours [not sure about Porto  ] It was the unsubtle hit of the broomy which got me when I first saw a coupe, not in this country btw, in addition to the styling. When they get dirty the yellow still stands out more than the rest of the field IMO  Afraid I'm not for any shade of silver/grey etc.

Seen pretty much every colour going I think. The only colour I have not seen to my knowledge is Pearl White. I've seen one in traffic but never up close for an inspection

Recall a broom yellow parked near the sea side in Italy and from the minute I layed my eyes on it I knew that was the car I wanted to own. Mind you this was back in 1995. A few months later the red AR155 was replaced by a broom yellow 16v (black leather interiour). Needless to say broom yellow was my favourite colour.  Back in 2003 the broom yellow had to go due to heavy commuting ahead. So she was sold to a caring new owner leaving me in despair as I couldn't find anything worthy (and affordable) to replace the coop. Called in the help of a friend and went on a search for a mint 20vt plus. It HAD to be a broom yellow one. During a 6 month search and various visits to sellers in Germany we saw a lot of plonkers. None of them in broom yellow outfit though. One colour really stood out for me and one was never going to do it for me. The first being an electric blue the other moon grey. So I now own an electric blue plus  The comments one receives on these two colours are very different. Yellow: sporty comments, electric blue: classy ones.
