Show us a hideous car color

[Monty]

Saw two of these in this color in a parking lot the other day.  I'm trying to imagine someone shopping for a Chevy Traverse, seeing one in this color, and saying "Yes! That's exactly what I'm looking for!" 

Meanwhile, back at GM

I'm personally sick of the "boring gray" color a lot of new cars have. Looks like gloss cleared primer. Cars today don't have the bodylines and styling for the colors they have. That "pearl puke" color ☝️above would work on a 30's-50's car, called something else obviously.

Definitely agree about the glossed primer look.  I'm guessing they decided not to list it as 2K Rat Gray.

That color is becoming quite popular.

Toyota calls it “Moon Rock”. 😊

 

While I can’t say that it’s particularly pleasant for me either, I still think it beats 5 different shades of gray.

I’m pretty sure that this shade of green was quite popular in the 40s and early 50s.

Cars this days come in three colors: black, white and grayscale. That's it.

Mom has a newer Nissan Rogue that's in a nice ruby red color......... It's not so bold a color that it doesn't look nice.

Seems like there are more than 5 shades of it

Here’s one ugly color on one of the ugliest,dumbest looking car/truck,POS,SUV..No offense to anyone weird enough to buy and drive one.What was Tesla thinking?🤮😵‍💫🤯.And this Jeep.👎👎

[1972coronet]

yeah... the influx of "East German Grey" and "Moscow Metallic" is as bland as it gets. 

Then there's the "Poodle Poop Pearl" on some trucks (seen quite a couple of Colorado in that colour) .

On the other end of the spectrum ; the brighter colours don't look right on these monochromatic TupperWare rigs .

That colour looks like something a seagull would drop on a beach table.

I remember several colors back in the '60s and '70s reminiscent of stuff that would come out of babies on occasion, in the mustard yellow, brown, and pea green families.

I had Fiats in both of these colors...and kinda liked 'em.

Mercedes Benz had "safety" colors, sort of pasty pastels.  I'm wondering what's up with matt bland grey or black on Rolls and such, Bat Man?  My ex-wife asked if I noticed the new muddy colors, like it's from mixing up low bottles of Model Master military colors.  Makes me want to repaint my '16 Honda Civic turquoise.

If I was at that dealership looking for a Traverse I'd be less concerned with the color and more concerned that they're passing off an Equinox as a Traverse. 

Details Charlie. LOL

What color (colour) do you guys want to see on new cars? Yellow? Jade green? Purple? Non-metallic orange? Dark brown? Racing beige?

I agree that today's "Transportation Appliances" seem to be mostly white grey/silver or black. The one notable exception is the pretty red on some of the Mazdas. Our household has a Flame Red '03 Durango and my black and gold two-tone '72 Grand Prix. I will NEVER own a grey/silver 4 door ANYTHING!

[stitchdup]

my sister has has a pretty nice shade of red on her focus. its close to fire engine red but with a touch of orange pearl

How does that saying go about opinions and what they're like?

So for everyone that dislikes a colour, there will be someone who loves it. 

 

Case in point: the OP posted Chevrolet's new Cacti Green. HE hates it. I love it. Reminds me of my dream Land Rover in Keswick Green.

 

 

And if someone hates the colour of the CYbertruck, then that must mean they also hate this:

 

 

And must also hate the colour on this:

 

 

 

 

Myself, I can't understand Toyota's thinking with this. Terra. It's even worse in person.

[Big Messer]

Opinions are like that spot where the sun never shines: everybody has one. Just admit it, respect everybody else's one and carry on.

I like that Chevy green, a Corvette would look good in it...better that awful battleship gray that is so popular, or the usual silver, black and white...

The Land Rover looks great in that color, with the white top and wheel. I find the shape of the vehicle either compliments or detracts from the color. And vice versa.

That color needs "curves". I could see that on a vette.

I've seen Broncos and Bronco Sports in a similar color w/ white grille, white wheels and roof and I like the look..
