Before I opened the link for worse I said to myself teal. Now most of the other colors I actually like on that list.

Don Ro 04-24-2013 07:55 PM

Interesting topic, there, Don. I'll chime in.

THIS is a "Worst" color? Not in my world.

^Have you seen that color in person? There's a reason it's affectionately called "baby**** yellow" in the BMW community. Jalopnik was being nice referring to it as baby puke.

And I'm glad they got that hideous new orange color on the Prius C in there. That is by far the ugliest color of any new car sold in the US currently.

I haven't seen a new car in brown since the 70's...

How could they miss that awful metallic purple on mid-90s Ford Taurus's?

It looks Yellow, to me.
I don't know, I don't have long to live...so I'm living a daring life these days.
Don't spoil it for me. :D

997s come in brown. I saw a brown can with a brown roof. I was not a fan.

There was a baby sht/puke yellow/gold Z3 at the big meet last summer, I couldn't believe it was a BM color, I didn't even take a picture of it, I didn't want my camera to smell. It didn't look like the picture in this thread.

I think the color was Phoenix Yellow, because Dakar Yellow is very good looking

ZAMIRZ 04-24-2013 08:28 PM

^Yep, it's Phoenix. I agree, Dakar Yellow is excellent. It has just the right amount of pastel to it without looking washed out.

BeyGon 04-24-2013 09:29 PM

Yes, too bad I didn't look at "worst" before I posted that. It's maybe the same car, how many of those could they have made.
But, this morning I saw a Porsche, newish, in some sort of bronze/gold/orange color. I wasn't real sure what to think of it.

LOL, a buddy owns an M3 that color, and he loves it..

Don Ro 04-24-2013 09:45 PM

Now you guys got me looking.
The drivers front does look kinda green, eh?

Lime Gold Metallic, a $3200 option and another atrocious color. Looks like Dijon Mustard with weird pinkish silver tones.

As do I, and his taste in women is similar, so it all makes sense.

I really like that baby sht/puke yellow. I think it would look stunning on an early 911.

How about that brownish-greenish-goldish-changing-color that Dodge put on some of their early Stratuses?

Heel n Toe 04-24-2013 11:10 PM

Let's hear it for brown!

Ran across this looking for a Dodge Stratus in the color described above. Gotta love the French.

BMW motorcycles had a variant called "Marrakesh red". A few months in the sun and it became donkey dick pink.

ForBell 04-25-2013 12:39 AM

OMG, that Citroen cockpit. a different world over there.

sc_rufctr 04-25-2013 01:53 AM

I've never really loved my Furn Green 911...

It didn't stop me buying the car because of its overall condition but I'm considering a full wrap in mid blue metallic.

The worst colour ever would have the be baby poo mustard. :(
