I think yellow attracts to many racers. Better to be in stealth mode with red.

Saw an Imola Orange today at the local dealers and if I was buying on now I think I would be tempted. The pearl paint looks really good

Loved the Nuremberg Trial Blue!

Spew Yellow, anyone? (Result of approaching yellow on an overcast morning with a hangover).

I investigated MCB (not in europe at the time) but settled on black as it less complicated.

As I postulated at the mini-meet, I think MCB may soon overtake silver as the d/f colour.

This also means silver will then be slower than MBC!

Well, I bought black/half red for my first car after having seen black, silver and MCB cars.
Then at SM1 I fell in love with the red cars.
Fortunately (well, sort of ) I got the chance to change colours recently and I could get a red one after all.

I did want a Nuremburg blue for a while, just a while though.

Clarkson has some advice on colour choices.....

"Red's always a safe choice along with metallic blue, silver and black" - Well, thats a large majority of the UK board then.

"watch out for allegedly trendy colours like Silk Cut purple, JCB yellow and strident pastels like lilac and lime green. They may be at the cutting edge now, but two years down the line you could be sorry." - Watch out Moff.....!
