Question Whats your least favorite car color combo?

For me its:
black/black or tan
silver/black or tan
white/black or tan
gray/ black or tan

I'm starting to look for a 997 but have been following the market and it seems that 90% or higher of this era of cars have this colours combo.

I'm not a big fan of red cars unless its a Ferrari.

Red/beige
Yellow/beige.

Anything with a white interior.

I think you'd have to specify a make/model/year of car for me to say.

A set of colors that is great on one car may not be so great on another.

If I were shopping for a Ferrari 360 spyder I would avoid red as an exterior color and go for a dark metallic blue.

If I were shopping for a 1999 996 I would avoid metallic, especially bland metallic, and go for bright gloss red color.

The black when in good shape will look very sharp, same for the white.

These color combinations are popular for short term owners to order because they have the least negative impact.

The cars that have the color combinations I like generally take longer to get to the used car market.

Brown/brown was the only color I could afford at the time.

After about ten years, and better finances, I got some rust repairs done and changed it to silver. I'm OK with the brown interior. I may change the interior to black and brown at some time as I have a perfect dashboard top in black, and could change a few other parts to match such as te seats.

Black/black. Like the way it looks. Just to much trouble to keep clean and gets too hot in the summers.

LOL, not for two weeks. they say it's bad for your health, but it doesn't seem to worry me.

But back on topic with the car, they called it metalic bronze, just a fancy word for brown. I couldn't wait to change it to silver.

high school friend repainted this Accountant Green 55 Chevy to a mildly metallic powder blue. Spent the rest of his high school days driving a blue car with a green interior.
THAT's my least favorite combination

Brown isn't bad. It is just different than a black, white, silver or red car.

My macadamia metallic Boxster.



and the copper brown metallic 930.
