I have promised myself a coupe for a good few years now and now i am going to go for it,I have never purchased a car because of it's colour, allways it's price and no of owners ect! However this time I want to purchase the right car with the right colour. I did like yellow a few years back but now i like the dark black/charcoal and blue colours.What is the general opinion on colours here in the forum? Thanks

Yellow is rubbish, portafanny is for girls, red fades and is prone to crashing, sprint blue is common, electric blue is the daddy.... I could go on.
It's all down to personal taste, the coop is one of the cars that looks good in most colours, so if you like yellow buy a yellow one, if you like blue buy a blue one, etc.

My faves are Yellow (but only if the sils are painted or it has a kit) or electric blue.
The reason why my car isnt either of those, i recently killed my yellow one and decided i would have a change, and despite what JimO says actually from what i saw looking around, The Electric Blue ones did seem (to me at least) to go for more than other colours.
(i saw an electric blue late model standard car for sale for more than my wine red plus cost me, with similar miles etc)

yeah but electric blue ones are 99% of the time pluses or VT6's so they always get a premium anyway. A yellow plus will hold a premium over a blue plus, because there are so few yeloow pluses, a sparkly white plus, holds a premium over the yellow plus, because there are even less sparkly white ones. But std coops, each colour gets about the same money IMO. And just because a car is advertised for more, doesn't mean it sells for more ![wink ;\)](/forum/images/graemlins/default/wink.gif)

I don't think green or chrono grey are very popular. Black does the car no favours at all IMHO. All other colours are great.

Red LE's tend to get snapped up quite quickly i thought.

i think the colour is a very personal choice, i used to have a porto and i got another porto again 5 years later but if i could i would have pearly white but they are rare and expensive. i like electric blue and wine red and could live with a yellow one. wouldn't have a red one now although i did used to want a red LE due to the fact for some reason they get bumped. i like black LE's but not keen on ink black/blue in the flesh. sorry for a lot of people out there but my least fav colours are sprint blue and scotts green. moon grey and vinci grey are very nice but chrono grey not to my taste at all.

Well porto is for RAVING GAYS ![laugh \:D](/forum/images/graemlins/default/laugh.gif) I think probably the green(s) are the least fave colours, but just pick one you like! I have my fave hahaha hark at him!!! just got back after a lovely DRIVE in my porto, not just a sit outside my house and had a lovely big dinner!! i think if you are unsure about which colour you like you have to see them in the flesh

porto is stunning with a few subtle alterations..... lowered with 18" wheels, tinted windows, LE skirts + lips, zender spoiler, induction kit and de-cat. not so effeminate then! everyone comments on the colour - you do get the odd person saying did you have to get a purple one ![grr \:mad\:](/forum/images/graemlins/default/mad.gif) but most of them are dazzled by it ![love \:#](/forum/images/graemlins/default/love.gif)

As said above, the colour is down to personal preference and there are many arguments about which is the best colour. They are all lovely, it's just that, depending who you are, some colours appeal more than others. My personal top 6 favourite colours are: Sprint Blue Electric Blue Portofino Blue The jet black colour on the LE's Ink Black The dark maroon coloured ones. I'm not keen on yellow cars in general, but if I was going to get a yellow one, it would be Fiat's yellow, as it's the best and nicest yellow around ![smile \:\)](/forum/images/graemlins/default/smile.gif)

Just buy the best car in a colour you can live with ![smile \:\)](/forum/images/graemlins/default/smile.gif) I would say porto is a marmite colour especially for guys and green cars traditionally sell least well. I personally don't like silver or white cars regardless of what they are. I'd say get to a local meet, see all the cars in the metal and then buy the best one you can find whatever the colour ![wink ;\)](/forum/images/graemlins/default/wink.gif)

the thing with coops is you get the colour inside too and i think some colours suit the dash strip better. except for LE's where you get titanium colour. ![smile \:\)](/forum/images/graemlins/default/smile.gif)
