Wow, I cannot believe how many people are coming out of the closet and disliking red?

I'm not a big fan of 1968 Palomino Ivory or Black cars. But it's like anything else..the color of a car is affected by so many variables, interior/top color, body style, lighting at the time, incorrect shades, and on and on. My favorite color is 68 Island Teal, but even with that color there are certain models and interior/top colors I would never use that color with.

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...

[/ QUOTE ]I have to agree with there isn't any color i don't like.If the paint job is right any color is awesome.

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:

90's Mustangs with the "Mystic?" paint (purple/green/brown depending on light)

Cashmere on the Lincoln LS's...it looks like primer with clearcoat

Most any light tan color...

Carry on!

Now you've gone and hurt my feelings Bruce.

Jacquie...I said "most" I think your Chevelle rocks

Yellow..
There's exceptions but yellow cars seem more often to be the butchered S'boxes when you get up close than other colors..
One exception is I've always liked 'Vettes in Warbonnet Yellow which is really more a gold color!.

I'd have to go with red and bright yellow.

Sorry to those with these colors. Someone asked....

I don't really have a least favorite color for muscle cars. Like others have said, the interior color, vinyl top color, stripe color, etc. can set off nicely any exterior color. I guess I would have to say since I am such a stickler for originality in muscle cars, any muscle car painted any color other than it's original factory color would be my least favorite.
