Purple is my favorite color by far, but I do really like greens and blues as well. You mentioned teal, and back in the mid 90's I had a teal Mustang GT Convertible and that color was amazing in various lighting. 😎
Truth! In every racing game I play I always go purple metallic. The only regret I have about the RX-8 I drive IRL is that it's snooze-tier silver. But it's getting browner every year, so maybe one of these days I'll splurge to have it sprayed a nice purple.
black with gold accents is absolutely one of the best color combos ever, imo. its not nearly as boring as just black, but isnt as obnoxious as gold on its own. it takes all of the positives, and the only negative it takes is black having very visible scratches.
I think it's worth mentioning that the reason a lot of younger people are buying boring colors right now like Grey, black and white is specifically because those are the only colors dealers seem to ever want to supply and if you want a nice color you have to get on a several month long wait list or pay significantly more money for the car in a more pleasing color. It's an unfortunate aspect of cars right now and it's also why I ended up with a Grey Civic Type R over a blue one like I really wanted. On the plus side wrap is better and cheaper than ever and it's opened up a world of awesome and fun car customization to so many people.
Dealers have them because they have great resell value. They might never sell a car due to it's color because obviously color preference is subjective. Also Bladed's argument of black and white being better than silver is ignorant in the regards to paint care. You dont want swirls and you dont want dirt showung up? Get metallic grey.
I mean, metallic grey is still gonna show dirt or mud if it's that color, and swirls will show on any car. Get white if you're okay with a little more washing than usual.
I totally agree with you about the "British racing green". It's such a classy color. It's an unpopular opinion, but I really like "wine color", depending on the car it can look very beautiful and classy.
I do think brown depends on the car. If it is a modern car sure it might not look good but an old car like a Mustang or a Cadillac Eldorado might look REALLY GOOD in brown depending on the tone of the color. Usually light brown is closer to copper but a Dark wood/chocolate brown OMG
Okay, yeah on trucks, Utes, etc. It can look pretty classy. I always will like a little shine though. So to me Bronze is C or B, just a better brown basically. I just realized in the video I put Bronze in C, but I verbally say, "B" so rip editing error. But yeah Brown can get up there. D is just my "overall opinion" on it. Since most cars can't rock it :\
@@BladedAngel dark chocolate brown usually looks great and classy on older luxury cars like old Mercedes or Cadillacs or in some cases newer cars might work with a lighter brown, almost going beige, like Rolls Royces and Bentleys but not on Sports cars, on Sports cars they look garbage. I've seen some grocery getters here in Brazil with brown collors, they look....ok, i guess....tend to look like wannabe luxury cars. Most of them are "Nissan Kicks" models
@@jessicabecause3717 it is. I saw a F-1000 pickup truck in a Two Tone Brown paintjob. A dark Brown below and a brighter brown from the hood up to the roof
And yes, that was literal hell to Google. The search queary eventually became "specific wacky long car name -popular -common" and it was the second result after a barrage of images.
As a blue Camaro SS owner (2017), I am happy to see blue get the respect it deserves. Some blues are definitely better than others, but when done right, it looks _incredible_ on almost every car
We do appreciate a HoV appreciator here! I too bought a dark grey car cause the other options were not very good. The bright orange and blue was only in the premium trim and only other colours was a faded grey blue and white. Blue is my favourite, but it's so hard to find now
I see, a fellow HoV follower, opinion approved. I own a silver-ish car, but I would definitely got for a green car, with orange as a secondary or tertiary interior color.
@@SK-XMBCBH It's a welcome surprise though. Hearing the Honkai Impact menu music in the background I was waiting for something about the game coming. Seeing the HoV Kiana pic made me shed a tear🥲
I saw a Geo Tracker in the wild once that was painted in pink. It just stood there looking at it for a while after taking some pictures as it’s seriously a great color! It does depend on the car but pink works really well!
You had me going for a bit there with green. My pops has a 73 Pantera that was Ferrari red, and I went to bat for Bullitt dark highland green. Mainly because I figured it'd be cool to keep it in the house with the Ford heart of it, and also because I'd never seen another other than British racing green. Potentially due to how many are around it could also be the only one in existence. The end result is that at the car shows, cars and coffee and just driving around, it has gotten more compliments than it ever did in red.
One thing I do like about grey is that it does help make the body lines on cars really pop in good lighting, and it makes me appreciate the bodywork more.
As someone who owns a Black Camry XSE on black rims I agree with B tier. When your car is clean it is is CLEAN, but when it’s not freshly washed it is so obvious that your car is dirty. The scratches will always show so you get a timeless color but you also get the upkeep that comes with it!
One colour I've been into lately that you didn't mention is beige. It's a tricky one to rate though because there's so many different shades of it. The darker, brownish shades that you saw on 70's and 80's cars look terrible imo, but the lighter, more sandy shades that you saw more on cars from the 30's-50's look nice.
maybe that sandy beige would look good on a pickup truck, especially if it trying to be a sporty offroad type like the raptor or trx or the factory five pre runner kit
Beige looks classy as heck when you have two tones of beige. Like how a lot of 30s and 40s cars have a lighter beige body and darker beige fenders or roof, I just think it looks great. Kinda gives me chill coffee shop vibes but on a car.
Nah, most beige or off-white cars kinda look like unwashed white cars to me. A bit like you left it in a room with like 20 chainsmokers and... Nah man, it's not my thing. No hate to you, as long as you like it every color is perfect, but it's just not for me.
Almost fully agree with your tier list - I'm just a bit biased because purple is by far my favorite. Got my car done in KPMF Imperial Orchid and it looks👌so good imo. A strong blue, darker red, or British racing green are really nice though as well. Overall nice video! 🙌
The one color that I am so upset I missed out on was the Dodge "hellraisin"/"sunset purple." I was really tempted to jump to their replacement purple, but the preview colors I saw psyched me out. So I went with their Crimson color, instead.
Aussie here, by far the most common car colours are white, shades or gray and in the last couple of decades, black, a colour you rarely saw on the road back in the 20th century as it was previously seen as a colour that made the car hotter temperature wise before car air-cons became more common and reliable. I would welcome more colourful cars like they had in the past.
I think it makes more sense to compare the combination of exterior color and interior color. Some "low rank" exterior colors fit more with certain interior colors, while some "high rank" color may not match with certain interior color. After all, it's all personal preference, like the color of clothes.
My personal favorite car color is Neptune Blue on the Toyota GR86. What sucks is that Toyota discontinued the color due to an issue with the paint itself.
@@BladedAngel just did some research, while we don't exactly know why Neptune Blue was discontinued, there are reports of cars with Neptune Blue 2.0 being ordered to dealerships. Personally, I'm glad they decided to reintroduce the color as an option!
Red is great on sports car, but for some reason, whenever you see a red sports car now, your brain just goes: hey that's a Ferrari... For me personally, I don't think blue fits much on some coupes, but blue sedans, just wow.
On sport cars blue, red, dark green purple, on classy cars like s class brown, black, darkgreen (if its fast sporty car like aston martin), on normal cars black or blue. TBH all other colors are ugly, yellow is worst because very full yellow car looks shit it makes it look like cheap car that want to look fast even if it is a fast car same as light greens and orange.
Red actually looks best on cars with smoked out tail lights at the border with transparent red led in the middle like rx7 and some vw cars (taigun/tcross, virtus)
yeah I loved the RX7 in Gran Turismo 2, I think straight up because it was the only red car in that game where the taillights were able to stand out cause of the black accents. HOWEVER, modern games now let us smoke/clear lights, which is sooooooo nice. I actually red so much more now when I change lights!!!
Decided to repaint my 2011 flatbed ranger. It was either between forest green and orange. Ended up going with orange since I wanted my truck to look like a fresh burst of colour cruising down the road lol. Great video 👍
I agree, blue is definitly S tier. I'm fond of gm's medium cloisonne metallic and arrival blue. By now it's obvious I like spit boxes. If only there was as many options now as mopar had back in 1970.
I love my bright colours, but I also have a soft spot for Honda's medium grey/silver from the early 2000s, that grey that was on every Honda at that time
Nah this video was made to stop me from making more shorts on colors, I just wanted to get em all out the way instead of milk... Actually JK lol I might still make a short on Chrome Gold LOLOLOLOL
I totally agree on putting gray on the bottom of the list and I also would put any fancy named gray below the list right next to nardo gray. Actually my grandpa, who always had a green and red cars bought a gray suv just because it was named "machine gray" or something and I absolutely hate that, however I do like gray if it has some spice to it like a colored stripe, red for example or even a black stripe with red interior with no tint on windows so that can stand out more.
I completely agree with the Gray choice being F Tier. BUUUUT... my favorite shade of Gray is Gun Metal (even though it's literally just a glossier Nardo.)
I think railways are a great source for colour inspiration. Back when labour was cheap, the railways made some fabulous, lustrous finishes. Some of my favourite shades are on locomotives: the bright, light LNER garter blue (see a4 bittern), the deep, glowing GER and Caledonian blues, Midland railway/LMS crimson lake (see the gorgeous duchess of Hamilton), the wonderful, light, bright LNER apple green (see the GNR n2), and of course, the classy Southern railway malachite green. Especially seeing these paints in person, their depth and shine captivates and impresses every time. I really like what Lexus did with their structural blue. It’s nice to see something with high saturation amidst the bland seas of monotone greyscale.
American railways, expecially from about the 1940s until 1971, had great colors put into fantastic paint schemes. Even after passenger trains disappeared into Amtrak, freight companies kept going with some great paint work. With the mega-mergers of the last 30 years a lot of great liveries have disappeared, but occasionally a relic from that era can still be found
Honestly, I'm surprised how much silver grey on me. Of course, I hate that every other car is silver, but unlike the equally common grey, the silver at least carries itself with class. I have a friend with a silver Mustang and another with a silver 911, and my silver 440i GC simply makes the lineup look classy. However, given the chance and money no object and in an ideal world with no wait times etc. etc., I would definitely wrap my car something else. Like the Long Beach Blue used on M2s. Or Daytona Violet Metallic. With chrome wheels. I want this now.
BMW’s Techno-Violet has always been one of my favorite OEM car colors offered, but their recent Thundernight Metallic is a close contender for that spot too. Definitely love purple for a car color.
3:56 gray is also my least favorite colour to a car (unless its an old or classic mercedes, they're gorgeous), that's why i loved the fact that Fiat started to stop selling gray and promoted all type of colours
blade i live in los angeles and i was staring out the window while watching this to test your greyscale theory and man you HAVE to come visit here theres red, green, yellow all within just the section of you talking about the greyscale!! we still have pretty cars left and right even the SUVs
you make a really good point about the tail lights. my mom didn't really like red on cars cuz she thought it was tacky. but then she got her camaro, which is a dark red color (I think it's crystal red?) and she likes it a lot. and for that reason I like red cars (:
Out on forza horizon and crew motorfest im always just pushing all the colour sliders around to see what fits Teal,turquoise, bronze, beige, saturated stuff, saturated turquoise or orange Yellowish orange Daihatsu perhaps has the most colour variety in the modern car company scene
Yeah, on your rant about grey, apparently car paints used to be cheaper to make because of the compound they used, but it was found that said compound was actually very harmful to the environment, so they switched to a more environmentally friendly compound that was more expensive to product, so to offset the cost, they make a majority of their cars' colors in shades of grey (including black and white because those are technically shades of grey). I believe either Albon or Hagerty made a video on the subject that you should check out; it's very informative and interesting Edit: more general thoughts on the video: for me, my favorite color very much depends on the car and the feeling it is meant to evoke out of the person. A supercar such as a Lamborghini would deserve a brighter color such as a lime green, a safety orange or a bright yellow, as they bring out the more energetic and sporty nature of the car itself. More luxurious cars such as Bentleys, Rolls-Royces and some Aston Martins pair better with darker colors such as navy blues, British racing greens and darker reds. On grand tourers especially, I love darker shades of purple, since they evoke a sense of royalty and luxury, such as Storm Purple on the DB12 paired with their bronze rims and a tan interior trim. On certain sports cars, anything in between dark and light is my preference, depending on the car. Ion blue on the new Aston Martin Vantage paired with a speed yellow accent color is especially striking, and reminds me of colors of The Heart of Racing's Vantage GT3, but cosmopolitan yellow paired with a speed red accent color also works really well, as it evokes more of the sense of energy and liveliness that the Vantage itself embodies. Of course, a Ferrari pairs best with red, but yellow also suits it. A, off-road SUV like a Jeep Wrangler or Ford Bronco pairs best in my opinion with a more military-inspired color, as it accentuates the rugged nature of such a car. Some cars such as certain Toyota models like the GR86 or GR Supra pair best with the brand color (in this case, red). Depth of color matters too, imo. Where some cars mesh better with solid colors, others feel like they go better with colors that have more depth to them. Many Aston Martins, Rolls-Royces and Bentleys fall into this category for me. I feel that more solid colors would do them an injustice and not add to their elegance with more shallow colors. For sportier cars however, certain solid colors feel much more fitting, especially the brighter ones. I would continue to go on, but I trust you get the idea. For me, the ideal color for a car depends on many factors, and therefore I do not have a most favorite car color. I do however have a least favorite: any shade of grey
I've just noticed the Hyperion BGM from Honkai impact 3rd... And it's my third time watching this video. I paused, got up to grab myself a cup of coffee and when i un-paused the video i thought: "Did I leave the game open?" All of it while i do not even have the game installed on my pc XD. Anyway i pretty much agree with the color ranks tho some of them might be one tier up or down depending on the color or the car on wich is on. I feel linke some shapes of cars suit some colors better than the others. Pretty nice video. (Corrected some awful typos and grammar errors 🤦)
I painted my CrownVic P71 Plum with Purple Micro Flakes and Gold pearl. Added Black Betty pearl. Looking direct on it, it stands as plum with super sparkle. Looking along side it appears black. When overcast it appears total black. Spent 150$ on flakes and pearls to make a mix of plum. Which is my wife's favorite color..
I own a humble but bright Habanero orange Toyota Aqua (Prius C). That colour feels like absolute S-tier where I live amongst the boring sea of whites, greys, and blacks. It is easily found in any carpark, at night, and even looking back at the carpark after hiking up a nearby mountain trail (even more so in winter snow). It stands out in all conditions. My friends once had a great laugh and take photos of my car when we returned to it after dinner because it was literally the only splash of colour on the darkened street!😆
Lol never knew it was called Sebring orange, gm really has a thing for that track. Pontiac firebird 95 sebring silver. So beautiful with blue undertones in it
When I was buying my current car, Toyota 86 first gen the nice bright orange was the the winning factor for me. (Also the top trim GTS with the aero) It looks to nice especially after a wash and surrounded by black, white and grey blandness.
I’d put black and white in C tier unless the black is carbon fiber then that’s S tier. I’d put brown in B tier it depends on the shade of brown, a shit brown yeah that’s c tier
Bro, back in ‘07, we got a Fusion in “Dark Amethyst”. It was absolutely one of the most gorgeous colors I’ve ever seen. It was kind of like Deep Impact Blue in regards to how it was so dark yet really vivid and beautiful when the light hit it just right. (Definitely darker that DIB but still). It needs to come back
I had a Forest Green Honda Del Sol and put Bronze wheels on it back in 2011 and absolutely loved it. That dark green took the ricer ideology away and just made it nice. And now I have an Orange Spice Fiesta ST which I call the pumpkin. It is bright metallic orange with black wheels and tinted windows. I feel like the car is yelling at me when I look at it and it's great.
We do need more colors! Not just on the road, but in our cars too! I grew up in a family that's had more cars with coloured interiors than not. As such, I've noticed I find black interiors to be too sad. So I make a point of buying cars with non-black interiors. Being surrounded by color makes me feel much happier!
I just completely agree with that, blue is my favourite colour, blue with big alu flakes in it! Or purple, also good. I like racing green as well. The human eyes can see the most variations in green. Teal is also pretty nice, I'd buy a teal car every time.
My first car was a 09 accord coupe that was blue and loved the colour on it. Wasn’t planning on buying another blue vehicle but i just purchased a new truck and was planning on buying it in white but when I got to the lot every truck was white, grey, black, and they had one blue truck there (glacier blue metallic) and it instantly caught my eye and I went home with it. Glad I went with it, stands out a bit from the depressing sea of shaded cars.
for the white, my mother told me once that cars with white paint are cheaper to maintain/repair, so when i see a ferrari with white i just think they want to keep the maintenance and whatnot cheap. good colour on like a chiron, but for certain cars like the 488 i just dont like it
I think Drivers get worse and worse because of the grey sea, you don't see grey cars because they look like the grey background So if you got colours there would be a contrast but having grey in front of grey asphalt and grey railings, of course you won't mention a grey car approaching and you can't really see how fast it's going since everything is just grey And well here on the Autobahn is really fucking dangerous not seeing a car approaching in the left lane But i guess what also adds to the greyness is the big ass screens slapped inside a car that is bright as fuck and always has flashy colours so you will mention a grey car approaching even less
Bro THANK YOU. I am so sick of these urban grays, sonic grays and shit. Idk how car companies mind controlled people into thinking gray is cool. I feel this is an early 2020 trend that is going to be laughed at in 15 years.
Your point about the Silver is ridiculous, i'm 23 and im not having a 40s crisis for loving that colour. Imagine the legendary MB CLK AMG DTM without that stunning silver. Everyone have their taste, but i never going to choose by what they going to say about me...
want to throw out, i think the right shade of grey can really accentuate the shape of the car in a sheet-metal looking sense on certain cars, specifically the first gen mazda 3 and the late 90s bmw 325ci
I know this is an old ahh video. But holy moly this is so good. I dont agree with everything, (i love nardo gray because it reminds me of primer) but this video is straight up ADHD/OCD candy. The subject changes the unpredictability. Ur list is like a B-Tier, but the video was an SS easy!
Why didn't you mention having bright color's for you car can make your insurance cheaper because if your car is less visible you're more likely to get into an accident therefor it's cheaper. Black when night less visible. Grey blends into the road. Try doing an online insurance quote but switch around color's to see which ones are cheaper.
I've got myself a Used Hyundai i30N 4 months ago in Performance (Baby) Blue The Colour is phenomenal as its not too Dark nor too Bright,it hits the eye so soft and its pleasing to the eye. I also love how Fiat has stopped selling they cars in Grey,and they executed it in the most badass way. The CEO of Fiat Dumped himself with a Grey Fiat 500 into a Tub of Orange Colour
I like most colors, tho only in a more matte-ish, but still glossy finish. But I especially love desaturated shades of red, blue and orange. Besides that, bronze/darker gold looks fabulous on most cars Imo.
Damn, your Royal Enfield looks great in that yellow. I've recently REALLY been drawn to their bikes, but I need to pay off a lot of other mistakes before I get one.
Back in my Need for Speed days, I would always paint my cars a really dark green. I always thought it looked really cool. Also, orange-black for me either signifies Halloween or the Milwaukee Road, both of which are cool
Ill be honest nardo gray is pretty cool imo but its not the best. Its just the people that meatride and glaze nardo grey as a color. I love the color but its not god-tier
I have a regular sedan that's magma gray, and IMHO I prefer gray for most regular cars. It looks beautiful and elegant, compared to the other colors they offer. But when a car has some nice lines, curves or aesthetics, then I definitely wouldn't go gray.
The grey/silver argument is void for me because I got hit twice and had to swerve away from cars turning into me in my Subaru Impreza because the person who hit me didn't notice me. Now I drive a big green Wrangler JK and haven't had the issue.

@@jessicabecause3717 it is. I saw a F-1000 pickup truck in a Two Tone Brown paintjob. A dark Brown below and a brighter brown from the hood up to the roof
Bro actually left out Augusta National County Club Membership White, Almost Celibate Cardinal, Go Go Mango, and my boy fuschia 💀
And yes, that was literal hell to Google. The search queary eventually became "specific wacky long car name -popular -common" and it was the second result after a barrage of images.

As a blue Camaro SS owner (2017), I am happy to see blue get the respect it deserves. Some blues are definitely better than others, but when done right, it looks _incredible_ on almost every car
I stand behind this statement
As a metallic blue camaro z28 owner as well I agree
We do appreciate a HoV appreciator here!
I too bought a dark grey car cause the other options were not very good. The bright orange and blue was only in the premium trim and only other colours was a faded grey blue and white.
Blue is my favourite, but it's so hard to find now
I see, a fellow HoV follower, opinion approved.
I own a silver-ish car, but I would definitely got for a green car, with orange as a secondary or tertiary interior color.
I was NOT expecting Honkai references in this video, holy fuck
@@SK-XMBCBH It's a welcome surprise though. Hearing the Honkai Impact menu music in the background I was waiting for something about the game coming. Seeing the HoV Kiana pic made me shed a tear🥲
Also the bridge music
@@saadmasood6906 that's what I said
I saw a Geo Tracker in the wild once that was painted in pink. It just stood there looking at it for a while after taking some pictures as it’s seriously a great color! It does depend on the car but pink works really well!
Maybe it was stolen and left there ? ;)
You had me going for a bit there with green. My pops has a 73 Pantera that was Ferrari red, and I went to bat for Bullitt dark highland green. Mainly because I figured it'd be cool to keep it in the house with the Ford heart of it, and also because I'd never seen another other than British racing green. Potentially due to how many are around it could also be the only one in existence.
The end result is that at the car shows, cars and coffee and just driving around, it has gotten more compliments than it ever did in red.
One thing I do like about grey is that it does help make the body lines on cars really pop in good lighting, and it makes me appreciate the bodywork more.
As someone who owns a Black Camry XSE on black rims I agree with B tier. When your car is clean it is is CLEAN, but when it’s not freshly washed it is so obvious that your car is dirty. The scratches will always show so you get a timeless color but you also get the upkeep that comes with it!
One colour I've been into lately that you didn't mention is beige. It's a tricky one to rate though because there's so many different shades of it. The darker, brownish shades that you saw on 70's and 80's cars look terrible imo, but the lighter, more sandy shades that you saw more on cars from the 30's-50's look nice.
maybe that sandy beige would look good on a pickup truck, especially if it trying to be a sporty offroad type like the raptor or trx or the factory five pre runner kit
Light beige can be really nice on some sleeker cars. Anything with aggressive angles might not look as nice with it.
@@charliemaybeMy friend has a ZR2 Colorado in that sand color and it looks great.
Beige looks classy as heck when you have two tones of beige. Like how a lot of 30s and 40s cars have a lighter beige body and darker beige fenders or roof, I just think it looks great. Kinda gives me chill coffee shop vibes but on a car.
Nah, most beige or off-white cars kinda look like unwashed white cars to me. A bit like you left it in a room with like 20 chainsmokers and... Nah man, it's not my thing. No hate to you, as long as you like it every color is perfect, but it's just not for me.
Almost fully agree with your tier list - I'm just a bit biased because purple is by far my favorite. Got my car done in KPMF Imperial Orchid and it looks👌so good imo. A strong blue, darker red, or British racing green are really nice though as well. Overall nice video! 🙌
The one color that I am so upset I missed out on was the Dodge "hellraisin"/"sunset purple." I was really tempted to jump to their replacement purple, but the preview colors I saw psyched me out. So I went with their Crimson color, instead.
Aussie here, by far the most common car colours are white, shades or gray and in the last couple of decades, black, a colour you rarely saw on the road back in the 20th century as it was previously seen as a colour that made the car hotter temperature wise before car air-cons became more common and reliable.
I would welcome more colourful cars like they had in the past.
I don't why but I really love blue,yellow and orange colors,it give me more unique feel
I think it makes more sense to compare the combination of exterior color and interior color. Some "low rank" exterior colors fit more with certain interior colors, while some "high rank" color may not match with certain interior color. After all, it's all personal preference, like the color of clothes.
My personal favorite car color is Neptune Blue on the Toyota GR86. What sucks is that Toyota discontinued the color due to an issue with the paint itself.
Wait? What issue? Did it prone to chip or something?
@@BladedAngel I'm pretty sure that's what it was.
@@BladedAngel just did some research, while we don't exactly know why Neptune Blue was discontinued, there are reports of cars with Neptune Blue 2.0 being ordered to dealerships. Personally, I'm glad they decided to reintroduce the color as an option!
Blue is the best colour for a car. Blue can go with any car, but red goes with certain cars like Porsche or Mercedes, Red is my 2nd favourite.
Red is great on sports car, but for some reason, whenever you see a red sports car now, your brain just goes: hey that's a Ferrari...
For me personally, I don't think blue fits much on some coupes, but blue sedans, just wow.
On sport cars blue, red, dark green purple, on classy cars like s class brown, black, darkgreen (if its fast sporty car like aston martin), on normal cars black or blue. TBH all other colors are ugly, yellow is worst because very full yellow car looks shit it makes it look like cheap car that want to look fast even if it is a fast car same as light greens and orange.
Red actually looks best on cars with smoked out tail lights at the border with transparent red led in the middle like rx7 and some vw cars (taigun/tcross, virtus)
yeah I loved the RX7 in Gran Turismo 2, I think straight up because it was the only red car in that game where the taillights were able to stand out cause of the black accents.
HOWEVER, modern games now let us smoke/clear lights, which is sooooooo nice. I actually red so much more now when I change lights!!!
Man the best feeling after having a long exhausting day and just seeing that bladed uploaded a long video. Puts a smile on my face
Decided to repaint my 2011 flatbed ranger. It was either between forest green and orange. Ended up going with orange since I wanted my truck to look like a fresh burst of colour cruising down the road lol. Great video 👍
4:40 we just gunna ignore that clean beetle just vibin
make your freind wrap his camaro green right now asap. I will not rest until his camaro is green!
Based gray in f tier
I agree, blue is definitly S tier. I'm fond of gm's medium cloisonne metallic and arrival blue. By now it's obvious I like spit boxes. If only there was as many options now as mopar had back in 1970.
I love my bright colours, but I also have a soft spot for Honda's medium grey/silver from the early 2000s, that grey that was on every Honda at that time
*WOOOOOOO! AS AN AVID FAN OF MIDNIGHT BLUE, THIS IS MAGNIFICENT! HOPE WE GET MORE VIDEOS ABOUT COLOURS!🗣🗣🗣🗣🗣🗣🗣*
Nah this video was made to stop me from making more shorts on colors, I just wanted to get em all out the way instead of milk...
Actually JK lol I might still make a short on Chrome Gold LOLOLOLOL
WOOOOOOHOOOOOOOOOO! COLOURS!!!!🗣🗣🗣🗣🗣🗣🗣
That color looks amazing when it's metallic
@@noobonthetube agreed, I don't own a car but nfs no limits showed me how good the colour is
a big problem with grey is that a grey car can't be seen that well on cloudy days when the headlights are turned off
8:47 THIS YEEESS🔥🔥🔥
That's the main reason why I came here to watch your rant, and I looove your opinion on all of the colors
I totally agree on putting gray on the bottom of the list and I also would put any fancy named gray below the list right next to nardo gray. Actually my grandpa, who always had a green and red cars bought a gray suv just because it was named "machine gray" or something and I absolutely hate that, however I do like gray if it has some spice to it like a colored stripe, red for example or even a black stripe with red interior with no tint on windows so that can stand out more.
I completely agree with the Gray choice being F Tier. BUUUUT... my favorite shade of Gray is Gun Metal (even though it's literally just a glossier Nardo.)
In my area there's one person who drives a lime green Ford Escort Mexico, it looks really nice and it's one of the few standout cars.
I think railways are a great source for colour inspiration. Back when labour was cheap, the railways made some fabulous, lustrous finishes. Some of my favourite shades are on locomotives: the bright, light LNER garter blue (see a4 bittern), the deep, glowing GER and Caledonian blues, Midland railway/LMS crimson lake (see the gorgeous duchess of Hamilton), the wonderful, light, bright LNER apple green (see the GNR n2), and of course, the classy Southern railway malachite green. Especially seeing these paints in person, their depth and shine captivates and impresses every time. I really like what Lexus did with their structural blue. It’s nice to see something with high saturation amidst the bland seas of monotone greyscale.
American railways, expecially from about the 1940s until 1971, had great colors put into fantastic paint schemes. Even after passenger trains disappeared into Amtrak, freight companies kept going with some great paint work. With the mega-mergers of the last 30 years a lot of great liveries have disappeared, but occasionally a relic from that era can still be found
Confirmed blade loves gingers with his confirmed love of the color orange
Honestly, I'm surprised how much silver grey on me. Of course, I hate that every other car is silver, but unlike the equally common grey, the silver at least carries itself with class. I have a friend with a silver Mustang and another with a silver 911, and my silver 440i GC simply makes the lineup look classy. However, given the chance and money no object and in an ideal world with no wait times etc. etc., I would definitely wrap my car something else. Like the Long Beach Blue used on M2s. Or Daytona Violet Metallic. With chrome wheels. I want this now.
The lime green color nailed it,it just looks so good on supercars/hypercars,or even just coupe,its definetly S tier for me
British Racing Green can't be ranked because of how goated it is
As someone who has a gray car I 100% agree with your ranking of the color of my daily
BMW’s Techno-Violet has always been one of my favorite OEM car colors offered, but their recent Thundernight Metallic is a close contender for that spot too. Definitely love purple for a car color.
Bmw Isle of Man Green is amazing
3:56 gray is also my least favorite colour to a car (unless its an old or classic mercedes, they're gorgeous), that's why i loved the fact that Fiat started to stop selling gray and promoted all type of colours
4:00 - I like how Bladed refused to make a 50 Shades of Gray joke xD
boys wake up Bladed uploaded again!
blade i live in los angeles and i was staring out the window while watching this to test your greyscale theory and man you HAVE to come visit here theres red, green, yellow all within just the section of you talking about the greyscale!! we still have pretty cars left and right even the SUVs
pink on s14's and s15's looks amazing
you make a really good point about the tail lights. my mom didn't really like red on cars cuz she thought it was tacky. but then she got her camaro, which is a dark red color (I think it's crystal red?) and she likes it a lot. and for that reason I like red cars (:
Out on forza horizon and crew motorfest im always just pushing all the colour sliders around to see what fits
Teal,turquoise, bronze, beige, saturated stuff, saturated turquoise or orange
Yellowish orange
Daihatsu perhaps has the most colour variety in the modern car company scene
Finally some one who agrees with my about the tail lights. If my car taillights and indicators aren't good looking, it's an instant no.
Yeah, on your rant about grey, apparently car paints used to be cheaper to make because of the compound they used, but it was found that said compound was actually very harmful to the environment, so they switched to a more environmentally friendly compound that was more expensive to product, so to offset the cost, they make a majority of their cars' colors in shades of grey (including black and white because those are technically shades of grey). I believe either Albon or Hagerty made a video on the subject that you should check out; it's very informative and interesting
Edit: more general thoughts on the video: for me, my favorite color very much depends on the car and the feeling it is meant to evoke out of the person. A supercar such as a Lamborghini would deserve a brighter color such as a lime green, a safety orange or a bright yellow, as they bring out the more energetic and sporty nature of the car itself. More luxurious cars such as Bentleys, Rolls-Royces and some Aston Martins pair better with darker colors such as navy blues, British racing greens and darker reds. On grand tourers especially, I love darker shades of purple, since they evoke a sense of royalty and luxury, such as Storm Purple on the DB12 paired with their bronze rims and a tan interior trim. On certain sports cars, anything in between dark and light is my preference, depending on the car. Ion blue on the new Aston Martin Vantage paired with a speed yellow accent color is especially striking, and reminds me of colors of The Heart of Racing's Vantage GT3, but cosmopolitan yellow paired with a speed red accent color also works really well, as it evokes more of the sense of energy and liveliness that the Vantage itself embodies. Of course, a Ferrari pairs best with red, but yellow also suits it. A, off-road SUV like a Jeep Wrangler or Ford Bronco pairs best in my opinion with a more military-inspired color, as it accentuates the rugged nature of such a car. Some cars such as certain Toyota models like the GR86 or GR Supra pair best with the brand color (in this case, red). Depth of color matters too, imo. Where some cars mesh better with solid colors, others feel like they go better with colors that have more depth to them. Many Aston Martins, Rolls-Royces and Bentleys fall into this category for me. I feel that more solid colors would do them an injustice and not add to their elegance with more shallow colors. For sportier cars however, certain solid colors feel much more fitting, especially the brighter ones. I would continue to go on, but I trust you get the idea. For me, the ideal color for a car depends on many factors, and therefore I do not have a most favorite car color. I do however have a least favorite: any shade of grey
For me the top tiers are the ones that gives invisibility at dawn and dusk.
Nardo gray looks like melted cookies and cream ice cream
I've just noticed the Hyperion BGM from Honkai impact 3rd... And it's my third time watching this video. I paused, got up to grab myself a cup of coffee and when i un-paused the video i thought: "Did I leave the game open?" All of it while i do not even have the game installed on my pc XD. Anyway i pretty much agree with the color ranks tho some of them might be one tier up or down depending on the color or the car on wich is on. I feel linke some shapes of cars suit some colors better than the others. Pretty nice video. (Corrected some awful typos and grammar errors 🤦)
I was waiting for this comment😂. I was like "Am i the only one listening Honkai Impact 3rd BGM?"
@@skybilly12345 Well someone had to notice stupid things like those right?
I painted my CrownVic P71 Plum with Purple Micro Flakes and Gold pearl. Added Black Betty pearl.
Looking direct on it, it stands as plum with super sparkle.
Looking along side it appears black.
When overcast it appears total black.
Spent 150$ on flakes and pearls to make a mix of plum. Which is my wife's favorite color..
I own a humble but bright Habanero orange Toyota Aqua (Prius C). That colour feels like absolute S-tier where I live amongst the boring sea of whites, greys, and blacks. It is easily found in any carpark, at night, and even looking back at the carpark after hiking up a nearby mountain trail (even more so in winter snow). It stands out in all conditions. My friends once had a great laugh and take photos of my car when we returned to it after dinner because it was literally the only splash of colour on the darkened street!😆
You could probably make a seperate tier list for wheel colors. Two-tone, flake-y metal, etc. It's an entirely different world with wheels.
This video was the greatest! Watched the entire thing 3 times!
Caught in 4k
the combination of orange, purple, white and black of kianna hov lives rent free in my head
also love the honkai music
Lol never knew it was called Sebring orange, gm really has a thing for that track. Pontiac firebird 95 sebring silver. So beautiful with blue undertones in it
When I was buying my current car, Toyota 86 first gen the nice bright orange was the the winning factor for me. (Also the top trim GTS with the aero) It looks to nice especially after a wash and surrounded by black, white and grey blandness.
I’d put black and white in C tier unless the black is carbon fiber then that’s S tier. I’d put brown in B tier it depends on the shade of brown, a shit brown yeah that’s c tier
i love the honkai impact 3rd background music
Bro, back in ‘07, we got a Fusion in “Dark Amethyst”. It was absolutely one of the most gorgeous colors I’ve ever seen. It was kind of like Deep Impact Blue in regards to how it was so dark yet really vivid and beautiful when the light hit it just right. (Definitely darker that DIB but still). It needs to come back
I had a Forest Green Honda Del Sol and put Bronze wheels on it back in 2011 and absolutely loved it. That dark green took the ricer ideology away and just made it nice. And now I have an Orange Spice Fiesta ST which I call the pumpkin. It is bright metallic orange with black wheels and tinted windows. I feel like the car is yelling at me when I look at it and it's great.
My favorite car colors are:
• Orange
• Pink
• Purple
• And green, very bright and vibrant shades of green, no mint or British racing green for me
Ayyyy we in s tier baby!
We iz blue
We do need more colors! Not just on the road, but in our cars too! I grew up in a family that's had more cars with coloured interiors than not. As such, I've noticed I find black interiors to be too sad. So I make a point of buying cars with non-black interiors. Being surrounded by color makes me feel much happier!
I just completely agree with that, blue is my favourite colour, blue with big alu flakes in it! Or purple, also good. I like racing green as well. The human eyes can see the most variations in green. Teal is also pretty nice, I'd buy a teal car every time.
My first car was a 09 accord coupe that was blue and loved the colour on it. Wasn’t planning on buying another blue vehicle but i just purchased a new truck and was planning on buying it in white but when I got to the lot every truck was white, grey, black, and they had one blue truck there (glacier blue metallic) and it instantly caught my eye and I went home with it. Glad I went with it, stands out a bit from the depressing sea of shaded cars.
Green is so god damm underrated man the variation of styling you can do is insane
Yay! My red Type R is S-tier. Awesome!
When everyone has a flashy colour, you camouflage like Waldo in the Where is Waldo books.
I love this dark deep green whitch on angles gives a litle lighter tone more towards yelow
I'm not even a car guy(actually I'm still in university), but I love this man as a you Tuber And find his content entertaining regardless of the topic
for the white, my mother told me once that cars with white paint are cheaper to maintain/repair, so when i see a ferrari with white i just think they want to keep the maintenance and whatnot cheap. good colour on like a chiron, but for certain cars like the 488 i just dont like it
U deserve 1 mil for how good your content is.
I think Drivers get worse and worse because of the grey sea, you don't see grey cars because they look like the grey background
So if you got colours there would be a contrast but having grey in front of grey asphalt and grey railings, of course you won't mention a grey car approaching and you can't really see how fast it's going since everything is just grey
And well here on the Autobahn is really fucking dangerous not seeing a car approaching in the left lane
But i guess what also adds to the greyness is the big ass screens slapped inside a car that is bright as fuck and always has flashy colours so you will mention a grey car approaching even less
Those 2nd gen Firebirds looked great in brown , and in gold . The brown especially was great because it had that gold metal flake in it .
Bro THANK YOU. I am so sick of these urban grays, sonic grays and shit. Idk how car companies mind controlled people into thinking gray is cool. I feel this is an early 2020 trend that is going to be laughed at in 15 years.
I understand not being crazy about driving orange all the time, but as someone who's fav colour is Orange I would not mind at all
Good to know Bladed Angel wants Nardo to make a come back! I was hoping there was a fellow Nardo fan.
Me personally I just use teleportation, the stress of car colors was too much 😔
Your point about the Silver is ridiculous, i'm 23 and im not having a 40s crisis for loving that colour. Imagine the legendary MB CLK AMG DTM without that stunning silver. Everyone have their taste, but i never going to choose by what they going to say about me...
want to throw out, i think the right shade of grey can really accentuate the shape of the car in a sheet-metal looking sense on certain cars, specifically the first gen mazda 3 and the late 90s bmw 325ci
emerald metalic green with gold / bronze accent is just perfection
Vantablack by far would be an s+ on any car
I know this is an old ahh video. But holy moly this is so good. I dont agree with everything, (i love nardo gray because it reminds me of primer) but this video is straight up ADHD/OCD candy. The subject changes the unpredictability. Ur list is like a B-Tier, but the video was an SS easy!
Why didn't you mention having bright color's for you car can make your insurance cheaper because if your car is less visible you're more likely to get into an accident therefor it's cheaper.
Black when night less visible.
Grey blends into the road.
Try doing an online insurance quote but switch around color's to see which ones are cheaper.
What about tinted/darkened taillights on a red car?
I've got myself a Used Hyundai i30N 4 months ago in Performance (Baby) Blue
The Colour is phenomenal as its not too Dark nor too Bright,it hits the eye so soft and its pleasing to the eye.
I also love how Fiat has stopped selling they cars in Grey,and they executed it in the most badass way.
The CEO of Fiat Dumped himself with a Grey Fiat 500 into a Tub of Orange Colour
I like most colors, tho only in a more matte-ish, but still glossy finish. But I especially love desaturated shades of red, blue and orange.
Besides that, bronze/darker gold looks fabulous on most cars Imo.
Damn, your Royal Enfield looks great in that yellow. I've recently REALLY been drawn to their bikes, but I need to pay off a lot of other mistakes before I get one.
Back in my Need for Speed days, I would always paint my cars a really dark green. I always thought it looked really cool.
Also, orange-black for me either signifies Halloween or the Milwaukee Road, both of which are cool
Ill be honest nardo gray is pretty cool imo but its not the best. Its just the people that meatride and glaze nardo grey as a color. I love the color but its not god-tier
I have a regular sedan that's magma gray, and IMHO I prefer gray for most regular cars. It looks beautiful and elegant, compared to the other colors they offer. But when a car has some nice lines, curves or aesthetics, then I definitely wouldn't go gray.
The grey/silver argument is void for me because I got hit twice and had to swerve away from cars turning into me in my Subaru Impreza because the person who hit me didn't notice me. Now I drive a big green Wrangler JK and haven't had the issue.
I just wrapped my car Plum Crazy and i’m stoked to pick it up from the shop this week!
It’s a good day when angle uploads
