Not some bullshit answer like “red” or “black”, the real color. My 1996 Ford Escort LX was Dark Tourmaline metallic, and my 2004 Honda Civic LX is Magnesium metallic. Bonus points if you post a picture of a different model in the same color.

Here is a dark tourmaline F250

And a Magnesium RSX type S

CURRENT: 2004 GMC Envoy in Carbon Metallic (gray)

CURRENT: 2005 MkV VW Jetta in Platinum Gray Metallic (gray)

I guess I’m boring (I did have a blue S10 Blazer and a blue Ram 1500 in between there).

It was like this one, which I think is Royal Red. Of course, I’d had my Rover as a project non-driver for a while by then, and it was originally Poppy Red (then painted yellow, then navy blue) like this one:

red (I dunno the name, perhaps like rust red, it had a sweet white streak from newly painted road lines)

don’t worry patriots, I had a blue car once too (Electron Blue Pearl)

I had no idea what the actual names were and was curious …. but you said different model so I made them as worse as possible.

I believe it was Super Grape III Metallic. Had since I was 14 through first part of college. “Alexander the Grape”

Current is the ever seductive Cashmere Beige (Ive put over 220,000 miles on it since I got it in 2007). I’ll retire “the KID” at 300,000 or May 2017 depending on which comes first.

Just realized I don’t take any pictures of my cars...

Also just realizing these two represent the lady Power Rangers and I’m totally OK with that.

Also also the Jeep is black/mud/rust colored and the Yamaha is dark blue if anyone cares. My old explorer was some forest green bullshit.

Current one is Brilliant Black Pearl Clearcoat (colour code AXR):

There’s also a project car in the driveway: 1996 E36 BMW 318is which is either Nachtblau, Montreal blue (which would be ironic) or Dark Blue (colour code 263):

First Emerald green 92 Camry. the color, and wheels were my two favorite things about this car. dark green is probably my top pick for car colors, period.

This picture was taken when it had some duct tape racing stripes....long story

I loved the paint on this car, but did eventually paint it Rustolium metallic blue mostly due to boredom

Last, because there is no current lol. Rallye RED! very very red. funny thing is I don’t even like red cars, and this was the second one I’ve owned. and the car I’m currently looking to aquire is a dark red/maroon. hopefully if I do buy it, it will see a color change someday after some rust repair...

all told I’ve had 3 green, 2 red, 2 white, and one blue counting the month or so I had the Camry blue before it died.
