I'm a Jeep fan so a little biased, but Jeep has classic colors then 1 year only colors that constantly rotate.

Toyota does also I’ll admit I didn’t realize Jeep also rotated their colors

Wife has a Jeep(no pics of either,). I’ve been underwhelmed by it until a couple of days ago. She was rear ended at a stop light and was pushed into the car in front of her. Car that hit her is totalled, car in front has significant damage. The only thing it did to the Jeep was knock the catalytic converter off of its mount.

I like it better than a lot of other colors that are out there. But I wouldn’t choose it.

Gray has become popular on the 911. This Turbo S is in Nardo others like Fashion Gray and Chalk are also popular.

I don't think "army gray" is a thing.

Battleship gray is a thing.

I bet a meth head finished the job and was gone before the cops could get there to write the accident report.

thought it looked good on a Tacoma

I like the metallic silver that so many people have better. It's what pops into my head when I hear Tacoma.

If I wanted a flat paint color on a vehicle the only option would be BMW’s light absorbing vantablack.

Guy in the car in front of her got out and was asking was she alright and being very nice. When she called the fuzz he said “I can’t be around here when the cops get here!” and hauled arse.

It is, or was, in Germany. And I don’t mean this post has been done before. I mean the Germans painted all their vehicles (other than the ones shipped to Africa) gray until Feb 1943. After that they were pained a “dark yellow” with green & brown camouflage patterns. There was no standardization of camouflage so each unit came up with their own camo pattern. For example…

Here is an early war Pz Mk IV in “ dunkelgrau”


And here is a Pz Mk III from the North African campaign in “ gelbbraun”


And here is a Sd.kfz 7/1 in a dunkelgelb base, with interlocking stripes of olivgrün.

I like it. I've also seen some grey with a bluish tint that looked really nice.

There’s also the flat beige.


I drove around in a beige Olds '98 for a while. It kind of got passed around my extended family.

Felt like an African dictator in that thing.

He’ll be driving around in a rear end pushed up to his backseat beater for years. Just a little tape, maybe.
