This will be interesting to know which is the forum's least favourite colour for our treasured cars

I will start the ball rolling and say

moon grey .

This is just for least favourite colours, not favoured ones, as previous thread was for both a few years ago.

Moon grey looks OK! I'd say Scotts Green with 'murple' being a close second.

My scotts green with gold wheels RIP looked awsome when it was polished up in the sun.

Seriously difficult as each colour looks different depending on light conditions, quality of the paintwork and if a tasteful body kit is fitted..….

Well my least favourite would be all of them bar Scott's green!! biglaugh

Not biased honest!

Worst for me are Scott's Green, Wine Red and Electric Blue. The rest of the metallics follow though Ink Black is still nice. Bold, bright solid colours for interesting cars thank you yes

Yep, definitely Chrono.

I have a spare chrono bumper and it is a close match for the grey primer I use, perhaps slightly bluer in some lights.

We must all do our part for the planet.
I unplugged a row of electric cars that nobody was using.

Couldn't agree more, definitely depends on the car! I've often thought I really disliked a specific colour coupe, only to see one, in that same colour and have it surprisingly blow me away! I think any/all of the factory coupe colours can look great depending on the car. That said comparing colours on a standard car may be a different story!

Here's a little murple porn for all the haters out there laugh

+1 for what F1ANG said. I've never been a fan of sprint blue but a certain few with tasteful mods do look ok but could never own one.

Don't get me wrong F1ANG - I don't hate it, just ranks as one of my 'least favourite'. wink Very tidy motor btw! cool
Vaguely colour related, the black sills on my old 16V spoiled the look. The factory body kit is a vast improvement IMO.

When I bought the Coupé I would have said blue and probably sprint blue the least.

But whilst owning them I've come to like most colours. I think that condition and presentation matter more. A well presented Coupé in any colour generally looks good.

However if pushed I actually least like the two that I used to like the most crazy - Pearl White and Energy Green.


Gone Audi mad!

I agree, great colour. I din't like sprint blue, any green or metallic red, but they have grown on me. Think having a contrasting interior helps, tan with an inky, red with a grey etc. Some its suits , others not.

Not sure if I like this anti-scots green feeling. It is not my favourite, but has grown on me in a very biased way. Mine is looking great since its respray.

My least favourite colour, red. I don't think the Coupe shape carries red off very well at all!

I find different colours look good with different specs.

I like sprint (really like, in fact I think its the iconic colour for a 20vt)blue and yellow with black sills(iconic 16v cars) but find them too much with any kind of kit

I most like that dark metallic green(Verdi is it?) with plus spec kit.

I don't like Crono!

I'm not normally a fan of green cars but Scotts green is actually a lovely colour for the coupe. Barmybob's coupe was one of the best looking in Turin last year, and I think the only scotts there out of 150 coupes if I'm not mistaken?

I like most colours, but in any light, I really don't like Chamonix Green (sorry to those few owners out there) frown

I don't like Scotts Green when it's unwashed/unpolished, but when cleaned up, it's a nice colour.

Also not keen on the Energy Green frown
