Porsche: Best Car color

    Best Car color

    each car...i think, has their Own Best color.

    example:

    Ferrari's look Best with the hot red, and tan interior - any other color is
    very iffy.

    Lambo Gallardo's look Best in Yellow, period.


    the "right" color all depends on the car's personality.

    just like government secret service cars...it would seem awkward if they
    were red. look better, best in black.

    best color for gt2, and turbo's: i think is arctic silver....or anything
    close to metallic in nature

    as for carreras and boxsters: solids look better than metallics

    Once again, it depends on era's as well...

    In the 1980's there were no green cars. Porsche used chocolate brown as
    their standard interior color in the 70's and early 80's. While red is a
    great color...all modern Porsches look terrible in it. Yellow is just a
    terrible color no matter who wears it.

    :

    big, classic Cadillac convertibles look good red with white interior, ditto
    Pontiac GTO convertibles, red with black interior.

    Ahhh yes, the GTO...I want a '67 done in blue (a darker shade), with the
    white interior and top.

    It depends a lot in what colour the car was first introduced and what
    colours was used on the brochures of the manufacturer. That colour will
    stick.

    here's another: Jaguar XK150 roadster, dark green paint/green leather
    interior (and brookland-screens)

    Well, a lot of companies tend to favor the racing color of their
    country or the company itself. This is why most British sports cars
    are shown in green, German in white (though Mercedes uses silver), and
    Italy uses red. Luxury cars are usually presented in silver or black.
    But the way the company guides color most is in the cars they give
    to the press for road testing. Going by current press coverage, you'd
    think the BMW Z4 M Roadster only came in red, and the new Z4 coupe
    only in blue.

    It is said that in Mercedes' glory days Alf Neubauer liked 'bare metal'
    (rather than 'silver'), because it saved a couple of pounds.

    Yep, the first 'Silver Arrows' were bare metal. After the nickname
    stuck, MBZ ran with it and used silver on their racers.
