Just someone wanting to drive a fine automobile & appreciate it for its excellence.
My 911 has always attracted people to comment- at gas stations, coffee stops, wherever it was parked, even along highways with other drivers getting an eyeful, too close-up for my comfort.
Nobody has ever said that they don't like the color.
They just loved the car & wanted to tell me that.

I consider brown on a 911 to be a flash color, due to it's oddity and the fact that when people see it they are either going to say gross, or boss (aka - it attracts a lot of attention, either negative or positive). Regardless, if someone around here (DFW area of TexASS) doesn't want to get noticed, then they cannot drive a vintage 911 - there are almost none to be seen, so they stand out biggly, no matter the color. I live in a busy, urban/suburban area and drive my Turbo to work about 75% of the time, and in the past two years, I've only seen one other vintage 911 on the road, and that was just once.
