Grey is the colour

Regarding fleet. I imagine the clue would be if there was CHOICE.
Nothing like the late 60's early 70's colours - paint it your self gloss from the hardware shop or black. In the late 70's I had a mk2 Cortina which was 'Saluki Bronze' and not so long afterwards a VW Beetle in 'Harvest Gold'. Think everybody is too worried about resale value now to go for brave colours! .... as if I bought those cars based on colour though - they were all I could afford :lol:
I've had...
blue 35%
black 28%
grey 21%
silver 7%
green 7%
given the choice, I'd have a bmw sepang, estoril or le mans blue... although if I ever get a supercar, I'd go lime green.
I don't think I've ever considered resale value as a reason to pick a colour, but I've always owned cars outright.

I've never bought a new car, so my colour choice has always been limited by what is around.
But thankfully I've managed to avoid grey so far - that is such a miserable choice IMHO!
Mind you I have owned silver cars for a total of 12+ years, and metallic black for 8+ years. I much prefer a proper colour like blue (6+ years) or red (5+).
For horrible colours I don't think you can do better than early 70s BL colours - they used to do dark blue Marinas with red trim and khaki green ones with tan trim, and yet people actually bought them! :lol:
I did own a 1973 Rover P6B in Mexico Brown - but other offerings included Tobacco Leaf, Almond Brown and April Yellow. Just minging! :roll:
