Worst 3S production color

My personal worst... White, aqua/teal, and silver. Those to me are just the most boring plain drab colors out there to paint a vehicle.

My favorite is red, it just stands out and screams sports car to me. It may give off the "poor mans Ferrari" vibe, but I like it none the less. It does need a lot of care and attention to be kept looking good though.

Driving a silver car is like driving a giant spoon. I heard that over 30 years ago concerning a Vette and I think it still applies.

I used to like beige metallic but after owning a 91 SL in that color for the last year I'm really getting sick of looking at it. I do still think a first gen Stealth can look good in that color though, and if the light catches it right it isn't too awful. With the exception of the darker blues (Fiji & Danube) and 2nd/3rd gen silvers (Symphonic & Hampton) I'd say there is a good reason that most of the rarer colors didn't make it onto more cars. They were unpopular for a reason. As for red... I personally have no desire to own a red 3S, but no other color looks better driving toward you on the highway from a distance. Really catches the eye. The dark green was kind of blah until it changed to New Zealand pearl. Sable Black always looks good now matter how common it is.

Among the best are black, amethyst purple and I like the pearl yellows on the VR-4's.

Agreed^^^

Of course, I am not biased in any way

I like most of the colors, but if I had to choose ones I did not like...Teal followed by Orchid.
