    It's funny how everyone hates on red. I LOVE the pearl white version as I have one. But the amount of attention a mates 99 gets thanks largely to the colour (red) and it's "sporty sex machine come get some" appearance, that car turns alot of heads. It pisses me off! lol

    you're on crack. jeremy is more on the money. napier blue (or whatever it's called) is the same color as the late 80's early 90's fugly berettas.

    that said, green in general is the ABSOLUTE WORST COLOR for a 3/s. olive isn't bad though. and i SUPPOSE a few people can tolerate 99 green...but regular ole 2nd-gen green is piss fugly. 3/s is a goddamn sports car. why the hell paint it like it's a saturn vue?

    p.s.
    harvest wheat beige is a close 2nd. still don't know how anyone can even remotely think that any other colors (orchid, olive, yellow, etc) even come close to being as disgusting on a sports car as pathetic green and volvo beige. oh, and even though i'll piss mike and bill off....maroon is my 3rd least favorite. why in god's name would you want your car painted like a fleet vehicle?

    I think the Jamaican Blue is a pretty horrid color as well, I really dig the symphonic silver on the 96 stealths, it looks sharp. I actually like the pearl yellow if it's an original pearl yellow. The red does look fantastic on the 96 stealths for some reason, but the caracas red is too bright.

    Had any type of silver been available in large production numbers I think that would have been terrible. The average silver car is SO BORING. However with silver only being offered in limited numbers on 3/S cars it makes it special.

    Probably because it's pretty hard to find a red 3S these days that doesn't look like some shade of orange after years of fading. That said, I had a red TT as my first Stealth, that was back in 1995, and it looked great, as the paint job was still pretty new. The color red needs a lot more care than some other colors to stay looking good.

    Quite a variety of hated colors! I think we've covered almost all of them. My personal hate is for the olive...only saw one that didn't look 100% like crap. It just wasn't a color that worked well with the car, IMHO. I get REALLY tired of seeing all the Pearl whites and reds, but they are tolerable compared to the olive. However, the Teal that's been posted would be a close second. I've never seen that color before on a 3S.
