to all those who have a 'blueprint' sorry if I offended you. It's not that I hate the colour just that 'blood orange' was meant to have been the biggest seller of the colours and all I ever saw was 'blueprint'...It seemed very common :

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'.

Almost the enitre VZ and Mk2 range is feral.
The ARMY brown you see some old falcons in
Two tone brown on some Ghia XD's.
Most 70's browns.
Reef and Oxford green (Ford used heratage green with such sucess then they ruined green).

Citric acid (woops, didn't mean acid rush). I love blood orange (which is why I got my XR in it) but the MkII replacement, Mandarin (?) just doesn't look the part.

I don't mind Acid Rush but I don't like Citric Acid. I also hate all the browns and beiges. I just see a beige car (usually a Camry) and I usually think "This person obviously doesn't worry about style. They just want a car to get them from A to B". Again, that XE Ghia Brown/Beige 2-Tone has got to be the worst color combo of all time. I don't think much of Vibe, or the EA light blue/yellow. They just look awful. Holden's Hothouse Green looks terrible while Ford's Envi is much nicer (seems to have less yellow in it).
