Least Favorite Color?
 
I'd like to hear some other people's opinion's of what their LEAST favorite colors are on their Musclecars? I mean what color would be the deal-breaker for you even if it was your favorite Make/Model?! It's a tough decision these days because with modern paints and techniques, even colors that weren't very popular can look spectacular. I think Burnished Brown is a great example of this. Even when new in 1969 a Burnished Brown Camaro or Chevelle didn't cause a lot of excitement, but the last few Brown 1969 cars I seen at MCACN or the old Vettefest just looked absolutely beautiful. Anyway, the color that just makes me nauseous, almost no matter what's it's on, is that Chrysler Sublime Green. I've always just hated that color!

Green, and I've had my share of green cars in the garage, too.

I was unsure about burnished brown. But once I saw it I was blown away, and its kind of unusual color. My least favorite color is red--hate to say it.

Not a big fan of Frost Green (GM), that ugly beige that the 78-80'ish Corvettes are sometimes painted in. I think those two are my least favorite colors on a musclecar.

Sorry to those fellow Chevelle/Camaro friends of mine, but I too am not a fan of Burnish Brown.

Least favorite Color is Red. Funny thing one time at a Swap Meet/ Auction saw a Black 70 Chevelle SS LS-5. It was an Original Red Car. Passed on it. I do like the New Torred on the SRT-8 Challengers.

You would probably get the same answers if you had asked what are your favorite colors.

I'm surprised I am the third to say this, I thought I would be the only one, but my least favorite color is red as well. I can appreciate a great looking red car, but I would not own one.

Sublime Green,Ford's Grabber Blue and any orange color.

sorry white,forest green and any of the gold to brown color's are my least favorite https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...lins/dunno.gif
but sometimes they do work on certain models with a vinyl roof https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...lins/dunno.gif

Re: Least Favorite Color?
 
Don't have one... There isn't a color out there I wouldn't own. I've got a mosport green Vette, had a fathom green/light green '69Z, a '70 gold/saddle Camaro and even a pewter silver SS Nova. Colors do not phase me...

Hands down GOLD. But RED on 70 Chevelle SS's. I think the red paint bandit went around the US and painted 1 out of 3 70 SS's Red with black stripes! LOL!!

Re: Least Favorite Color?
 
Man......where's all the love for Frost Green? And Red for that matter. I really don't understand that because Red is the easiest color to sell a car! While I'm a huge fan of Polo Green, when it comes to re-sale time I learned a long time ago that the Red, Orange, and Yellow are the 'hot' colors when it's time to move onto something else.

I always felt that the exterior colors and interiors went hand and hand....Even vinyl roofs back in the day would pop a color.........Almost any color can really be cool if you put a little thought into it........ https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...ns/burnout.gif...Just my 1 1/2 cents....OH...my least favorite color is rusting metal..

Baby poop greeen (gm frost green)
most other greens (can tolerate really dark like fathom green)
Grown up poop brown (gm burnished brown)
Any purple, don't care if you give it a riduculous name
Any orange

Re: Least Favorite Color?
 
Well, I don't think there's a color I dislike, but over the years I have heard more people say they really dislike bright yellow. For some reason, old Musclecars, in the hands of guys that don't care about originality, seem to end up day-glow yellow, usually with black stripes or black top.

As for factory colors, Butternut Yellow is not one of my favorites. It's not ugly by any means, just not a fan of it on a Musclecar.

And Sublime...yes....http://www.smilieshq.com/smilies/sick0025.gif

Jeff, your Impala looks just perfect!

I like pretty much all the old colors...but there are a few that make me say...WHY?

Those, in no particular order:

https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...ins/tongue.gif 90's Mustangs with the "Mystic?" paint (purple/green/brown depending on light)

https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...ins/tongue.gif Cashmere on the Lincoln LS's...it looks like primer with clearcoat

https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...ins/tongue.gif Most any light tan color...

Carry on! https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...lins/beers.gif

That Capri Cream '67 Impala is a doll!

There's no such thing as a bad color on a good car.

Re: Least Favorite Color?
 

My cars are white and orange, not the colors I would pick for sure. I love the loud colors such as Lemon Twist, Sassy Grass, Grabber Blue, Grabber Green, Hugger Orange, Rallye Green, Daytona Yellow, etc.

What I dislike the best is burgundy, maroon or any shades of these.

I like most factory colors. I don't like Fords Grabber Blue though. Never liked the blue on Richard Petty cars either. A member here told me once he didn't like Gold cars.. I kinda like them myself.

Re: Least Favorite Color?
 
I used to hate Forest Green/Fathom Green, or any dark green color, but I have seen some that have looked really good so I can't say it's my least favorite.
So, the one color that never does anything for me on a muscle car is White. Just too boring for me.

RED
