Default Worst colors

Curious what your least favorite exterior colors are. Sure, pull out the truly hideous PTS colors, but also which of the standard colors do you like least?
There's plenty of discussion of favorites but I thought this could be fun too...

No longer a standard colour but I'm sure many will offer up Lime Gold Metallic... to which I'd agree. No offense intended of course.

I'm tempted to say black or white, not because they look bad in black or white, but because 99/100 other cars on the road are black or white. Change it up a little bit! It's a Porsche it's supposed to stand out!

This! Face it, there is no bad color on a 911.

Hey, hey . . . let's not all pick on Lime Gold Metallic. It is the historic descendent of my 1974 911 Gazelle Metallic (although called Comet Shower in factory manual) a beloved earth-tones shade from the 1970's.

I've never seen a Porsche that wasn't cool in its own way.

That said, I have seen Porsches I'd rather not own.

Looks a lot like Kia Soul Alien Green that seemed to be all over the place a few years ago:



For me, least favorite is white. Nothing against white, might be fine for some cars, I just don't think it does anything for the 911. No offense to those with white cars of course. Personal preference is a great thing!
