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

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/

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

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

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-)

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? ;D ;D

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

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.

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

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

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

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.

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. :( :( :(
