These Cars Deserve A Better Color Palette

Lucid

Despite car companies yet starting to connection much absorbing colors connected mainstream and niche cars alike — Cadillac presently has 2 different oranges connected nan Escalade IQ, for instance — astir consumers have super boring sensation and spell for ace boring colors for their cars. Greyscale still rules, and it sucks. To footwear disconnected nan vacation play past Friday I asked our readers to tell maine what cars they deliberation merit to person a amended colour palette, because nan world needs it.

The mostly of you said immoderate variety of "all of them," which is not an existent answer, but luckily a fewer of you had due submissions for a beautiful bully roundup here. Hopefully designers, merchandise planners and executives alike are reference this and taking notes. That goes for PR people excessively — I committedness you'll get a amended reappraisal from america if you fto america thrust a car successful a real, bully color. Without further ado, support reference to spot what cars nan Jalopnik readers deliberation request amended colors.

Chevrolet

The C8.

Submitted by: Bands and Animals

I deliberation nan C8 really has a really awesome colour palette, and Chevy keeps adding caller colors each year. But I'm including this present because location needs to beryllium a pink.

Lucid

Lucid, Lucid, Lucid!

This is simply a precocious style, early adapter, tech masterpiece. Only disposable successful colors truthful muted that they each look nan same. There is simply a trader adjacent my house, it should beryllium breathtaking to spot their inventory – alternatively it conscionable seems dreary.

I almost utilized Lucid arsenic my illustration for nan original QOTD. The Air comes successful a bully acheronian reddish and a subtle blue, and there's a sick greenish connected nan Gravity, but I deliberation some merit bolder shades.

Land Rover

I work together pinch everyone saying "All of them," but for a singular vehicle, nan Land Rover Defender. As a brand, location are immoderate awesome classical colors LR could scope backmost to, but they insist connected these muted, dull colors. Even worse, nan caller insane Octa type has moreover less hues from which to choose.

The Defender 90. It is only disposable successful a level white, a metallic black, aliases a "premium" metallic acheronian grey almost black. I get it, 2 doors don't sell. But these commencement astatine $115k. You can't astatine slightest connection a green? Is it a Land Rover aliases not?

I heavy work together pinch this, too. I deliberation Land Rover could make a sidesplitting offering nan aforesaid extended SVO palette arsenic nan large Range Rovers.

Mazda

ND MIATA!!!

Mazda MX-5. Soul Red is simply a stunning color. But beyond a bluish that nary 1 orders, nan remainder of nan colors are nan accustomed grays and whites. And don't get maine started connected that overseas matte-like tan from past year. It needs a British Racing Green now. The day orangish needs to return. The existent 35 Anniversary reddish vino colour is beautiful. But we shouldn't person to hold for typical editions to get nan champion colors.

100%. Mazda's colour action for nan MX-5 is embarrassing. Buick called, they want their colour cards back. The database of non-sports-cars that travel successful much breathtaking colors than nan MX-5 is LONG. Shameful.

It's a immense miss to maine that Mazda doesn't do a caller colour typical version each year. And I deliberation Soul Red is extraordinarily overrated.

Polestar

Every Polestar deserves Rebel Blue, but each they springiness america is greyscale

Submitted by: Zach Marks

Polestars person specified awesome designs, but specified brutally boring colors. At slightest we're getting nan agleam golden action connected nan 4!

Volkswagen

VW Golf R. When I sewage mine, I had 3 options; black, achromatic aliases blue. Three years later and location is now only achromatic aliases blue. Meanwhile nan GTI has six options.

This is simply a sedate dishonor for a car pinch nan capacity credentials of nan R.

Submitted by: Don Weeks

Volkswagen should do a caller Harlequin.

Hyundai

All of them, but nan Hyundai Santa Cruz has nan saddest colour choices disposable connected thing I tin deliberation of. When "Canyon Red" is nan only decent color, and only connected nan XRT model, you're offering immoderate bad alternatives. I don't understand nan deficiency of immoderate agleam colors connected a conveyance for illustration a Santa Cruz, and why is nan reddish constricted to nan XRT trim? It makes nary sense. But past again, small successful nan car business makes sense, IMHO.

Submitted by: nrd515

This is simply a awesome choice. With specified a wacky design, why not connection a lime greenish aliases agleam yellow?

Honda

Honda has mislaid their consciousness of whimsy since nan early 2000s and it's astir evident successful their spiciest cars (Civic Si/Type-R). If you person a (somewhat) affordable sports car meant for a youthful and lively demographic you should person much than 4 overgarment options and if you do person only 4 colours available, 3 of them shouldn't beryllium variations of Black, Grey, and White. What ever happened to Phoenix Yellow? Electron Blue Pearl? Tahitian Green?

Another awesome opportunity to bring backmost practice colors and graphics.
