I've seen that many white ones which appear to have been patched up with Tip-ex on scratches and stone chips -it must be a cheap colour to maintain that way!

...colours only look good if they fit the individual car. Personally I find flat colours in general a bit bland for the MR2. And I like white the least but that's just my personal taste I guess.

...no accounting for taste!

...wait a minute, I just realised I voted Aquamarine (obviously). But there's a food few variants which I HATE. I'd only vote UK 1993 Aquamarine (there's only one) -the rest are too blue for my liking. My bumper's a variant of Aquamarine at the moment and I can't stand it.

THE FOLLOWING IS BEING SAID WITH TONGUE FIRMLY PLANTED IN CHEEK. DON'T BE HATING ME, PLEEEEZE

Check the title of the thread. You asked what is your FAVORITE colour, not what is the BEST. Favorite is subjective "I like blue better than xxx", "I prefer white over xxx", "I think xxx is lame", whereas the BEST is more objective. Best means it is better than something else and would need to be analysed and proven. Does is stay clean longer than another colour, do stone chips or other defects stand out more or less than other colours, how difficult it is to match up if required, do I get laid more often, and so on.

I could state that red is my favorite colour, but that would be my opinion. I wouldn't have to prove it. However, if I said red was the best then I'd have to be able to prove that it is "better" than other colours.

I would agree the White is hands down the "favorite" colour based on the votes, but I could still argue that it is not the best.

Top 3:
1 Dark Blue
2. Aquamarine Pearl
3. White and Black - I like them equal - white shows perfect the outlines, black shows perfect the dimensions.

Worst 3:
1. Turqoise
2. Yellow
3. Red (but only '91red, which has never been polished)

Red was my favorite color for 40 years. Now, I like Yellow for practical reasons. It's a happy color that really stands out. Recently, I parked in a 1000 car lot in Boston. I got a little turned around by the shuttle bus. Even so, I easily found my car from across the lot. I saw a bit of the bumper sticking out from between two large SUV's. That Solar Yellow practically glows.
