Color choice opinion : chartreuse vs sport classic grey

[02m2]

Finishing my 72 Singerish hot rod. I am pretty conservative and am leaning toward the Grey with stripes. The chartreuse looks great on the car. Help me decide!!!

I have a meteor grey 997 . And it is much darker .

Grey is a great colour on a modern car IMHO .
Not so great on an oldtimer !!!

I'm in SoCal so let me know if you want to see it in the flesh .




If you do decide on a more conservative colour , I suggest you look through some of the 356 colour charts ....

"I am pretty conservative and am leaning toward the Grey with stripes." Chartreuse accents...and change them every year.

Go green...the older cars look great in color.

My 73 might still end up viper green .

That's a LONG way off though .
At the moment , it is yellow , red , black , primer grey , and rust brown

[bri450sl]

I like either, but if you go with grey, make sure it doesn't look like primer grey.

Chatreuse, Chartreuse, the world needs more Chartreuse :-)
Some would opine that it will be harder to sell. Yet the market
currently seems to be paying a premium for some rare colours.

"Chatreuse" - Really?

What are you? A bunch of girly-men?

That's "lime green" - a variation of the 8 primary color, the only colors real men know about!

When I grew up, I got the small box of Crayolas and those colors were enough to color anything that I need.

You guys sound like you had the big 64 one and where still looking for more colors - ;>)

Hey, throttle back! My Crayola box had 'Burnt Umber.' And I still grew up preferring women! Life isn't all primary colors.

I should add that 'Sport Classic Gray' has a blue tint that is stunning in person. And in keeping with the idea of "Singerish," you should know the Singer palette is dominated by pastels from the 356 era.

Eight primary colours ???

So THAT is where I've been going wrong all these years !!

"Primary colors" = what comes in the small Crayola box
