The Ugliest/Worst Colors on a Car

[Cano]

Rubystone Red on the old 964 Carrera RS. More of a putrid pink in all honesty.

ABSOLUTE LIES. That color is absolutely awesome, specially in person, and quite iconic of 90s Porsches.

Classic Pink Nissan Micra CC.

Top Gear favourite car/color!

Garish Chrome Red - Rolls Royce - A nice car ruined...

I like the rolls, just needs black rims. Maybe I like exotics too much to hate chrome and other bad colors.

👍 A hard decision case, I presume...

Perhaps you just like black rims too much?

I do like chrome too, not plastic like that.

Jasper Green Pearl. "I'm saving the planet with my green colored hybrid". Looks like the color of celery to me haha.

I didn't even know Toyota had that Color for the Camry.


Now, this is what I think is a bad Color for a corvette. It just looks plain tacky to me.

I shouldn't have used the Cayman as an example, it doesn't look too bad in Cognac. The Mahogany brown Porsche has is awesome. This, however, is puke worthy:

Alright, yea. I'll give you that one. But that's not exactly a pretty car to begin with.

That shade of chrome wrap is preferable to some of the Commissioned Collection paint colours. A Light Red finish looks far more garish for example. Plus it really doesn't suit a car of that size.

A valid opinion... 👍

You made Mazda Demio upset as she was left out.

That's because 90% of Mazdas, after about 6 years, become a nice two tone shade of rust and whatever color they originally were. Plus the green on the 2 is slightly darker than the one on the Accent, which downright looks like leftover Ithaca Verde someone at Hyundai acquired.

Unpopular opinion time!

I always thought Gotta Have it Green looked awful. It just screams 'Look at me, I'm relevant!'. Official color of a mid life crisis.

Honda Milano Red. It's just not sexy enough on the Type R Civics. Honda need to take a look at Alfa Romeo to see what a good red is. When the EP2 Type R was launched they were only offered in Nighthawk Black Pearl (met black), Silver and Milano Red. I really wanted a red one... until I took one out for a test drive and it was the most uninspiring colour a hot hatch could be painted with. I went for the black and loved it.

 

[All Your Base]

The teal that was on every goddamn 90's car was also really bad.

 

[Katiegan]

Matte Black.

I used to quite like it, but now I can't stand it. It just looks tacky and nasty. The only car that can pull Matte Black off is the Focus RS500.

I love it because its a loud color I hate how you look at a parking lot and every car is silver, black or white.

There seems to be a lot of debate on what a bad color is. Most of the colors you guys have posted you seem to just not like it on that particular car. Many of the colors like that purple diablo I think is awesome. I don't really think there is a horrible color just cheap paint. The cheap cars posted have the oldest worst paint, but aren't really that bad of a color if done right. However I think one color we can all agree on sucks is this weird green Ferrari

Agreed, the same shade that was on every 1950's telephone. Dunno why I thought that though. XD

I usually like bright colors as well, but that green just looks horrid to me. I've also seen a C Max in a similar (albeit brighter) green which also looked awful. No idea what that's called though.

Speaking of interior colors, I've always found the shade of whorehouse red that plagues about half of the surviving Brougham pool particularly distasteful:

It looks like a living room in a mansion from the 40's.

Lavender Frost Metallic.

 

[Joey D]

There's way to much hate for bright green in this thread, I'm disappointed.

 

[GranTurismo916]

I really dislike the Impreza in green with gold wheels.

I love the "Gotta Have it Green" color on the Mustang, I think it suits it well.

 

[Murcie_LP640]

Another questionable colour for me has always been Le Mans Sunset Orange on the Nissan 350Z, which from some angles even looks brownish:

And then you get to the optional tan leather seat colour...

I think that's the best color. Second is yellow.

 

[PsuPepperoni]

I like everything posted so far.

Yeah I love the 35th Anniversary yellow, LMS though again I'm iffy on.
