I'm not a fan of light coloured cars TBH... I should say Polar Sea Blue  ::) but I reckon I'd vote for the deep metallic red (like the logo) :y

I've always preferred Dark exterior with light leather interior :y

Daz Pink is the most sought after, I'm led to understand.  ;)

metallic dark black/grey paint with black leather.  ;)
or any colour exterior with black leather interior, I've never warmed to the pale grey or biscuit interiors  :-/

Black sapphire (Z20R) - I'd never have any other colour Omega, except a white V6 Special.

WHITE. In the 60's/70's high spec cars were white then from 80's on only base models were. Slowly creeping back now. Audi etc.
    Imagine a white Elite with a gentle green window tint & cream leather... 8-) 8-) 8-)

You know what mate, white never even entered my head, but it is the best colour  :o A white Omega with 17" Facelift alloys new or older 5 spoke style, smoked side repeaters, black leather though. My perfect car  :-* :-*

Nope! Never was gay smells of wee champagn, and never really fully got on with the oyster of the previos car....and baige interior as well was a bit much tbh. Baige leather is nice I like it, but black interior is better.

There's a metallic gray that I like as well.


Oyster was an interesting colour though thinking about it, it used to change shade depending how the light hit it. But the less like gay smells of wee champagne and more like silver or a gun metal shade it looked the more I liked it...so silver is preferable, although every......      they are clitoris cars IMO.  :-X

I like a dark colour - Rubens Red takes my fancy, although black (when clean) really suits the car.

My wife's Nocturno Blue Omega always looked well for about a day after I cleaned it but invariably fell victim to the keek of the country road I live off.

Dark Red, as it takes on the appearence of many colours, depending on the natural light available, I have found! :y

I like a lot of the colours but mine is Ural Mountain (or duck-poo-green if you've never seen one!).  It looks great when clean and in the sun.

Much prefered my premium blue metalic, or her old silver to either of our current burgandy and ruebens red.

The dark colours show tiny scratches far worse than the light colours as there is too much contrast between the primer and paint.

I would say they hide the dirt better too.

Rubens Red is my fave, it looks so ..... refined? followed by Star Silver (mine).....common as dog sh**e but looks dignified (if dogsh**e can look dignified! ;D) :y

Metallic black for me a bit of a b*gger to keep looking pristine. If it was legal and practical black with maximum tint windows  :y Might look like a pimp mobile but hay ho who gives a sh1t 8-)
Title: Re: best omega colour????
Post by: belldarr on 22 January 2011, 21:43:15
Black in the saloon with cream leather (like mine) and Silver in the estate version with grey or black leather.

Rubens Red or Premium Blue look stunning IMHO :y

For practicality though, any of the silvers ;)

However, all three of our Omegas have been Polar Sea Blue! :D
