Do some colour’s suit different shapes better than others, I know it’s all in the eye of the beholder and all that. I’m not a fan of red but in some cases I quite like it, the new Citroën C4 looks fab in red as does the Audi A3 salon. My own x1 looks better in white IMHO than a darker colour like black. Just wondering what you guys think ? for different cars shapes.
I think that choice of colour can really make a car, but it can also ruin it. However, it’s an entirely subjective topic, as what looks good to one person looks horrible to another. Over the last few months alone I have seen some stunning cars (Bentley, Aston Martin, Porsche etc) that, IMO, have been absolutely ruined by poor colour choice. However, the owners who splashed out well over £100k for these cars must think that they look the dogs dangly bits.
My wife and I have quite different tastes in many things but we are quite aligned when it comes to car colours. We feel that black cars can look gorgeous when clean but never stay like it and are totally impractical as a result (we have learned from experience). White only used to suit small to medium family cars but now it’s a hugely popular colour and can look good on big cars, such as SUV’s, especially with black wheels. Red suits runabouts and sports cars but doesn’t suit big cars, although some of the very metallic looking reds (such as Mazda’s Soul Red) can even suit SUV’s. Grey always looks classy (hence why it’s often the most popular colour with the premium brands) but neither of us like the current trend for very flat greys or, worse still, the putty colour ones. I think that green is quite a dated colour now (I’ve had a couple over the years) but someone posted a pic of their Mini Countryman recently in BRG and it looked fabulous. Can’t stand the camouflage greens though.
There are two colours that Mrs Glos Guy and I just cannot agree on though. She likes gold colours. I don’t. I like bright blues. She doesn’t. You can’t win them all ?
