and that new dark blue on the BAs. Looks so dull from a distance, you've gotta get up close to tell it's even metallic.

* Tiger Orange - VT
* XB dull-as-dogshite dark brown
* Early 90's Camry beige
* Flat red on Aston Martins or Jaguars, it's just WRONG!
* Oxford Green on the AU, woeful
* Champagne and all it's variants, truly aweful on any shape or sized vehicle

I was never a fan of that colour either but its sort of grown on me now and doesnt look to bad on the xr's. I often have to ask myself why I got that colour instead of black or red etc :

But my worst colours are white, congo green, acid rush, envy plus many more but i dont know the names of them.

Sparkling burgundy - AU1
That blue/white combo - :

Oxford green in the AU series I couldn't stand at all but having seen your car on AUfalcon.com last year cheaman, It's not too bad.
With commodore's, that dark purple metallic that featured on VS and VT commodore's, especially berlina's. YUCK

I hate that Bloody Aqua-ish greeny colour that they brought out on the EF's, it looks just so shithouse and garden variety (I think tha colour of DJpoms car but that looks ok with the kit now so he can hold his head up!) also the light faded bluish that some came with is crap as well..

Dont like yellow THAT much on the BA, looks OK but yellow and Falcons make for a bad combo (Need I explain)

White Avalons look so crap it aint funny and that orange you see on some Datto's looks really poo poo.

I was originally a big fan of Acid rush but that was a 5 minute wonder i reckon and now it looks like baby poo that colour that holden brought out with the VY before hothouse became mainstream...
