BLACK cus it looks good for about 1 week when new then shows every lil mark, dent, scratch, swirl an spec of dust. Plus every car i've owned in black an half the ones i know of people owning have been involved in crashes. Black is just nasty!

My first car was a Ford "Ghostgum Beige" Truly horrible colour!

Ford seemed to get rid of it after a bit, and Bitsashiti seemed to have picked it up somewhere!

Can't imagine someone paying 30k or whatever for a new Magna, with a Ghostgum paintjob!

That blue some of you speak of is "turismo" you either love it or hate it.. I'm not a fan of the tiger mica myself, and any black, I will never ever have a black car even if you paid me!. The acid rush, WTF sort of colour is that suppose to be?? Oh and I also am another "anything brown" hater.

Not sure what it's called.....That absolutely horrid brown/bronze colour I have seen mainly on AUII Futuras. What on the face of this earth were they thinking???!!!
I saw one on the freeway the other day, I looked at the woman driving it and thought 'you must have been smoking some good crack to buy a car that colour'.

You may be thinking of another colour, because I'm pretty sure the one I'm talking about only came out on AUII 75th anniversary models and futuras. It must be a pretty rare colour as I can't seem to find a pic of one anywhere.

The Mary Kay "pretty in pink" Falcons of the early E-Series would take the prize with ease.

Hairy Lime and NV Green (a sort of Avocado) from the P76 would also be worthy runners up.

mmm say die to all those crappy GOLD colours!

Mecury silver needs to be deleted, its like the only remaining BA colour that first came out, other then Black white and blue pearl...

If Ford made Blue pearl and option on the XRs thats what I would have went for, i think its a mighty classy colour, but it is hard to look after.

My choice would definately be the Mary Kay pink as well. I can't stand pink in any form and on our last trip down south I noticed that those twits still use it! eekkk

That beige that the previous model Magnas came in, truly puke material.
The pastel colours that were in vogue in the early 90's on Fords and Holdens.
