> Rainbow Bright - What's your favorite - and least favorite - 914 colours?, Let's face it. Only in the 70's would a car come in so many wacky and outrageous colors! The 914 was BY FAR no exception, and with 37 different ones!

I really liked my Ravenna 73 2.0. It's definitely a "love it or hate it" color and gets lots of comments. I sold this car 10 years ago and I think it ended up in Australia (?)

(IMG:style_emoticons/default/agree.gif) I love Ravenna, it's so subtle. Once owned a '68 911R vintage racer in much less subtle Viper... another love or hate color.

But then I like Sahara Beige and Sepia. Favorite shades for the 914 include Tangerine, Safety Orange, Aubergine, Silver, Black, Alaska and Ancona Blue Metallic.

My 914s are Tangerine and Safety Orange, our three early 911s are two Light Ivory Targas plus a Black '67S, though it was originally Slate Gray. Coolest color in our
garage is on a 356S hotrod I've owned a long time: Smyrna. It was white when I got it, but couldn't wait to make it right. Porsche offered great colors back then.

I'd like to see that! I think different colored dashes would look good with the rare factory white leatherette interior. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif)

I agree with you. Can you imagine walking on the lot and seeing the same car in 15 different colors? Imagine that today! Now everything is white, black, silver, gray, beige, maybe red and maybe blue if you're lucky. Especially on the 914 (I think since it was intended for a younger audience) it just came in such an assortment of great colors. Colors even came in multiple shades (several blues, greens, yellows, reds, etc.). Just makes them even more interesting and unique. Never boring.

Me answering this thread is a bit like a deaf person answering a poll on favorite bands/musicians (I'm famously color-deficient ... Ok, "color-blind") BUT that fact notwithstanding, the only colors I really don't like on a 914 are the metallic ones, especially copper and gold. Favorites are the reds/oranges. Too many black cars, but I think black 914s can look really meeeeeeean!

Favorites are Tangerine and Ravenna. Mine is Tangerine, and will be repainted Tangerine when it's done.

Nepal Orange is nice too. Willow Green. Conda green. Malaga Red. Aubergine.

For WCR 2008 in Issaquah the local paper ran a story and said that 914s came in colors like jellybeans. I thought that was an appropriate analogy.

Salmon is nothing more than being polite and not saying the dude has a "pink" car.
