It looks great, especially with those wheels.

For me SPY and TP top the worst list - Mint green a close third. To each his own though apologies to those that have them. Color is in the eye of the beholder.

I was almost certain that my next G82 was going to be an Individual color (San Marino Blue or Frozen Black), but I ended up doing AW again. This time, the car will have a Fiona Red interior and red brake calipers (blue calipers on the first car).

The contrast with the black/CF parts is perfect for me. The color is bright, yet sufficiently under the radar to avoid unwanted attention. It works much better on these cars in person.

I went with your idea on my C8 and LOVE it... Traded the C8 on a Toronto Red M4CX - That too I expect to love. Couldn't do the M4 in white - Just not enough zing for my taste.

Hmm, I find this as an odd topic. Let's bash colors! If someone is happy with their choice color, I dig it.

I don’t think anyone is “bashing” anything. I think everyone has been rather respectful in all honesty.

Lighten up Francis.

whatever color this is. hideous IMO. baby diaper poop color

M3GALLY · 10-02-2021, 07:23 PM

Least desirable colors I've seen

The one everyone seems to love that I don't care for is Aventura Red.

This car needs pop in contrast not a fan of black (my usual go to color in cars)

kbanga · 10-02-2021, 07:31 PM

IOMG & SPY

Ok I take back my black comment that BLACK ON TARTUFO POST IS

iviegatron · 10-02-2021, 08:59 PM

Not sure why Alpine White is getting so much dislike, but I ordered one. Love the contrast between black and white. There are so many individual colors which I believe are at the bottom of the list compared to AW. But...

I don’t think it’s an ugly color, just the least desirable of the bunch to me.

Feel free to flame away.

Absolutely this!!!

I LOVE white cars. Both my cars now are white. My C7 z06 is white which i wanted to mimic with the M3C. White with black wheels, red interior.

However for the M3, white doesn't really look that great. It looks odd. I'm not sure why. Like it doesn't look complete. Almost cartoonish and not in a good way. That's why i didn't get AW.

Second would be IOMG.

I think AW does not go well with the front of the car, but every color including AW goes well with the rear.

Forzanerazzurri · 10-03-2021, 12:40 AM

AW, IOMG, Toronto Red, Dravit in the sun... This car came out with some pretty ugly color choices.

Have to agree Dravit is frustrating color to me, so beautiful in the dark/cloudy and awful in direct sunlight.

sleepdoc · 10-03-2021, 07:27 AM

AW. My F80 was AW and I loved it. In the G80 however I just couldn't palate the front end in AW with the grill.

DG is indeed unique. I love the color, but I also understand some negative comments and how it can be polarizing in certain lighting.

That's why I am getting Grigio Telesto.

I don't dislike any of them really but there is no way I would ever order SPY

frank70 · 10-06-2021, 02:33 PM

I think it all comes down to the lighting situation. I love my car's colour (Oxid Grey) in most situations and especially in the evening in lantern light. I do not like my car's colour though in the shadow lighting around 17.00 from about 100 meters distance. With all other colors it is the same. I do like nearly all current colors in good lighting. But in less-favorable ligting situations i really dislike some colors such as Brooklyn Grey, SPY, IOMG, Skyscraper Grey. What i can say though is that frozen colours look great on the G80/82 as they show the car's shapes and lines better than the shiny metallic ones.

Were you able to compare it to skyscraper gray in real life before you chose Oxide? I'm wondering how they differ in daylight. I assume there's a bit of gold flake if there's intense sunlight hitting the paint but other than that how do they compare? Thanks
