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...

That can be ordered!

I like that...though Zeus Bronze is my favorite C8 color.

If the color has the words "Sea Foam" in it, it will be ugly.

Personal favorite is Plum Crazy, but read my previous post also...

Let’s face it.

It’s not so much the colors.

It’s the modern automobile that’s ugly!!

Seems that there's not technically such a thing as an "ugly colour" because of the vast types of people that have different tastes. Plus, I've seen beautiful stock appearing '50s, '60s and maybe a few '70s cars that had been re-painted with these modern colours and look very nice. Like an econoline pickup I saw at a show, had some newer Toyota or mazda silvery colour or something. Was stock otherwise and looked quite nice to me. It's basically what Steve mentioned above, it is indeed the modern "vehicles" that have lost the luster, and so they may come across as hideous in some colours, meanwhile if you saw a vintage car in, even the first colour in this thread, you probably wouldn't hate it.

As a good note on car colors, I have noticed some new or late model cars with some rich colors often looking almost like a Candy type finish. Far too many newer cars and trucks in shades of Silver and Gray as well as White or Black. Doesn't seem to be a lot of imagination in the color palates anymore.

And must also hate the colour on this:

 

The problem with that is that it looks like Bubba just took a break from his angle grinder session to go get another beer.

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

Gwyneth Paltrow's "Sunning" routine seems to be in spite of that old adage...

There is a difference between "having" and "being"...

I had my old Ford on the road for about a week in 2016, in primer (as it still is...). 

Some guy in a new Mustang, a hideous shade of yellow, pulls up next to me and asks me what color I was going to paint it.

My reply was, surely not baby poo yellow... he was not pleased.

I’m quite taken with some of the variations on sage green that are appearing on some modern cars, if not the vehicles themselves.

That said, green is my favourite colour. 🙂

I like pie.

Not really into the matte and 'frozen' finishes that have been trendy in recent years either..I like shiny.
