I think it’s just a childhood thing… When I was a kid, all the “cool cars” were always red: Cameron Frye’s dad’s Ferarri 250GT California in _Ferris Bueller’s Day Off_, many Porsche 911s, my dad’s MR2 turbo, E30 M3s, my cousin’s 16v GTI, my step-mom’s first Cabriolet, my parents’ 68 Camaro convertible, et cetera… My first car being a bright red CRX probably solidified my love of the colour as well. ---

I would like to see a whole car done in Anthracite. It’s the bottom color of my truck. In regular light it looks really dark, almost black. But in sunlight or direct light it has an excellent shimmer to it that fades to the darker color away from where you’re looking. Almost like a phantom effect between black/grey/silver. ---

theres so many colors to choose from. I like the color of that z3 on the first page looks nice. That audi tt color is a little extreme for your 240. ---
