Default New Falcon colours

Hi all,

Since my job is ordering vehicles, I am over seeing some really boring, bland colours on yards. If you could choose new colours for the current Falcon, what would they be? Here are some of my ideas to choose from:

I think Ford should have a Retro range, Bring back the classics like Vermillion fire, Electric blue, Monza red, and those cool bright yellows and oranges off the XWs and XYs, A Vermillion fire FG GT? Yes please!! :

Would love some decent metallic colours in the Ford range, a metallic yellow, a pearl white, a metallic orange and metallic red wine type red.

I went with solid blue, however I would love to see heritage green but with more metallic in it.
I think that would look great, the same colour as heritage green but with the same metallic fleck that "EGO" had/has in it.

Either a Solid Blue, or something like Narooma Blue. Either/or will suit the FG's shape.

+1 for this colour. I wouldn't care what spec Falcon I had if I had one in Shockwave. I'd just be happy to sit and stare at it all day then go up to it and give it a big hug. :O
Bluehoon is right. There's no other blue out there as nice. What a great colour!

Anyway....I'm off to the carport to see if I can magically change my green car into a blue one!! :P

Velocity. Love that colour. It's the colour I want when I get around to buying an old XK-XP Falcon to do up.

My opinion only, I think the primary colours look too 60's on a modern car, thats not to say they don't look bad on an older car.

I like the F6 in Rapid, it definately stands out, but I may be biased on this.

+1 FG with a nice orange a FPV or even XR version would be much more striking than what they are currently offering.
