Personal choice.

Black is stunning when polished, but shows evety bit of dirt,

Silver will allways look cleaner than black.

Silver gets my vote for an Omega, as does Nocterno Blue.


Greens and white are the bottom of my list.

My list from top to bottom.

Gold.
Green.
Black






Red.

The car I drive at the moment is silver, and I am really in two minds whether I like it or not.

I've always liked the Red/Maroon colour, it always looks stunning when polished but I have a Gold car now and I must admit it is growing on me, despite all the comments about gold cars on here.

I loved the red one Josh had but its quite rare so I suppose Star Silver would be my choice.

Silver always looks clean - I have a black car as well - that is a nightmare to keep clean but looks better when clean. As I am a bit lazy on the car cleaning front my answer is Silver

burgundy/maroon or blue followed by
slate grey

i find silver bland

the darker colours look great when polished.

Maroon is the Persia Mica? if yes (the only maroon I can think of) I have one and it's awful :-) Nice, when its polished and you can see different colours in it but otherwise I do not like it that much...

 Car colour            Signifies…
 Red           Life, lust and passion (apparently Jeremy Clarkson drives a red car)!
 Silver        Naked ambition
 Beige        Wholesome, traditional and restful values
 Light green        Bright, youthful personalities who want to live life to the full
 Dark green        Optimistic characters
 Light blue        Introverted types
 Yellow and gold        Attention seekers with infantile personalities
 Brown        Down-to-earth people who don’t care about fashion
 Black        People who like to intimidate others and who are successful

I have always been "optimistic",and can honestly say my present Omega has given me very little bad luck.
Guess what colour mine is !!

'gotta be Rubens Red - smart and does not show the dirt or small paint repairs much.  Silver?  Far toooo common these days, even the plods have started buying silver in search of better resale values (just as white is becoming the new hot colour..............)    :)

yep,white is on the up.A few years ago you couldn't sell a white car very easily.
I don't like the migs in white though

Mmm........ALL of my cars are metallic green, (must mean something,) oh, and my motorcycle is met green too.

Not by design, but just the best vehicle with the lowest mileage and best condition at the time.

It's not easy being green - my paintwork shows up every speck of dust but keeps me on my toes every week (sometimes more) with the bucket and sponge   ;)

#1 White,  #2 silver as they are very practical for daily use and dont require frequent washing..

#3 red, #4 blue if someone will pay the water bills ;D

#5 black.. hoover all the dust and mud around , I will prefer it as #1..

I like dark colours but I loved our first Omega which was the rare " Antelope" colour (only available for an MV6).

Actually I am going to agree, and make that my favourite colour and move silver into 2nd place.

I like gold , which figures, I have 2 Z489 Omegas at the mo. I find it tends to show the rust less  ;D :D

I do like silver and gunmetal colours though (is this a standard colour or a respray?)

Not really answering the OP question,

Any dark colour.

Light colours, with the possible exception of silver look cack on big cars. (I dont like Omega's in Silver though)

I'll contradict myself by saying that Black should not be a colour for any car, ever.  Looks beautiful for all of 2 minutes and then you may as well have a poo brown car.

1.  Satin Red Mica - which my Omega is.
2.  The purplish-blue that MV6 had.
3.  Gunmetal grey.
