Some colors are perfect on some things... Like red on a Ferrari, yellow on a Lamborghini, navy blue on a BMW, or silver on a Mercedes, black on a Mitsubishi Lancer Evo and
as much as it pains me to say it seeing as I'm not a big fan of both the color and the car white on Honda Civic Type R.
And then there are some that really don't. Like lime green on a Lamborghini (Don't laugh. I've seen it before. =_=) and slightly less blinding,
pink on a Nissan March C+C. But what got me to post about the colors of cars instead of the nice wedding dinner I went to last night is this--
A Land Rover with a Nissan March orange paint job.
Now that is 3 shades of wrong. I literally pointed at that abomination and yelled rather loudly (to the amusement and annoyance of my companions) at how fugly that is and how that paint job alone had single-handedly questioned the possession of good taste in Singaporeans and tarnished the reputation of Land Rovers everywhere.
On its own, Nissan March's orange was already pushing the limit of my sense of style and artistry (which isn't really that great if my aunt had any say about it...) but they've gotten away with it because the car itself is small and cute. On something that big and lumbering, it is just begging to be laughed at. All it needs are black stripes and I can call it Garfield's automobile cousin who was hit with the ugly stick a little bit too much.
...But I happen to like Land Rovers (and Garfield) so the only proper thing for me to do is exclaim my indignation at that hideous piece of work.
Call me old fashioned but something that rugged and 4WD should never be in anything beyond the darker spectrum of blue, green or gray.
