[3.2 CHARLIE]

 ::)Hello , what's the Best colour for an Omega ? Silver ? Regards

[Elite Pete]

Its all down to personal taste, or lack of it but I like Silver and this colour but there aren't many about like this http://www.omegaowners.com/forum/YaBB.pl?num=1278252304/new#new

[Lazydocker]

Yep... Personal preference. For me, the best colours are Dark exterior and light cow inside

[Jimbob]

I like the Darker colours, not a fan of silver....

But I will say this for the light ones, silver / gold especially...

They hide the wear very well, any small scratches can stay damn near invisible, where on a dark colour, a scratch down to primer shows up very easily/

Yep... Don't I know it

Have managed to polish the one out where some scrote keyed it a couple of years back but it's only really hidden with coloured polish

[smithpa7]

Silver on an estate is by far the best colour
I am however a little bit biased

Silver only needs washing once a month and it still looks good in between. Sometimes when time is tight I just wash the wheels and the car looks great 8-)

[Sixstring]

ANY colour, as long as its in good condition, MOT'd, and used regularly..................

Yep... Reubens Red IIRCC. I'm hoping to find that Josh will find a Late Reg 3.2 Elite Estate in this colour, with CID and light coloured cow interior for the right price 

Don't want much do I?

I'll be out cleaning later so i'll stick a couple of pics up

[henryd]

nocturno blue but I'm biased

[Varche]

White or a light colour. Even with air con, dark colours are difficult in 36 deg (in shade). Pity mine is red!

[Shrek]

I like this colour ...............

Yep, isn't that the Rubens Red S? 8-)

Not overly fussed, general preference for Silver or Black.

It must have a dark interior though, as really don't like the beige.  And the brown steering wheels/gleveboxes/dash fitted to all but the latest bige interiored cars are just plain gay.

[Del Boy]

Black, Metallic Jade Green, Rubens Red, or whatever the colour of Lizzie's is?) Purple but, I'm sure it's classed as Red?

[plym ian]

brown hides the rust

[Bent valve]

Without a doubt it is Velvet green metallic with a light grey leather interior

I have to agree with you.  I wouldn't use the word 'gay' though ........... 

[Rockhampton]

It's Rubens Red for me... I've got the dark cow interior, and really like it 

[Auto Addict]

There's only one colour for an Omega, and that's the colour you personally prefer......

[TheBoy]

As long as it doesn't have a brown steering wheel

[Broomies Mate]

I have a brown steering wheel, and a Champagne exterior.  Double Gay Points to me.

Cant stand Black leather though.  Summertime is no fun with shorts on!  I bought my first Elite on the strength of Cream Leather.  The Black Leather in my Cavalier is unbearable, and shows wear far more. 

On Topic:  Best Colour in my opinion is anything dark.  Light coloured Omega's, especially Silver and White (Double especially Champagne) are just wrong.

all leather is a PITA (literally)

Mines silver, as another poster said, does not show any light scratching. Just been looking at Mannies pic's of his MV6, colour would not matter if the car looked as clean, even the wheel arch under the expansion tank has been waxed. Thought mine was clean, against the MV6 it would look tatty.
