Interesting thought. I've had a white BMW for two years and I've loved it, but I just can't see brown cars becoming the thing. White is exciting because it's "bright" in the way that Brilliant Red, Sprint Blue etc are. But brown doesn't stand out and when you see it closely it just doesn't look great.

Merlin Purple (or any other purple) do look great, the problem is that it looks great in the day but at night it just looks almost black.

Anyway, interesting voting so far!

any chance you could photoshop an S5 Coupe in Matt Black ideally with the black styling pack i.e no chrome anywhere. Ive just took delivery of my phantom Black S5 today and it's fab but Im thinking of putting a wrap on it for the winter months as per your suggestion. It would be really appreaciated

BTW I see yellow is winning and it looks smart but I just cant bring myself to vote on a colour that looks like my wee after a good night on the cider!

Stiggy, I just realised that I never replied to you. I am afraid I have no idea how to go about a matt effect in Photoshop, believe it or not changing colours of things is actually really easy, but changing lighting is where it gets difficult.

I'm thinking Orange is my colour of choice

Tim, did you nick those colours from a Focus RS catalogue??

Like the green actually, but not enough to change from my current colour!
