If white doesn't win, the pole is rigged.

I actually like white, blue, red, yellow and green and would love one of each.

Chose yellow for obvious reasons but I like red, green,black,blue & the heritage color from the NB a maron color with white interior.

It really depends on the model as some colours look better on a later model than an older one.
Having said that there is only one colour really RED
You didn't mention Evo Gold (orange as the yanks call it) Hot Rodders will feel left out.

This wonderful gentleman speaks the truth.

It reminds me when I drove my brother's red one I would get so much attention. With the silver one, absolutely nix.

The pole might be rigged but the poll is legit!

From memory, the biggest selling colour is silver but I haven't actually checked for a couple of years.

Red
I voted this, it suits pretty much every NA in every style, and looks great.

White
Probably my second preference, can be a bit plain unless it's got wheels etc.

Blue
Never really liked the smurf blue, it's always looked really old fashioned.

Black
a difficult one, when done right, it is absolutely AMAZING, but can just as easily go very wrong (works great with a red interior)

Neo Green
as per the black, but with the Tan interior.

Silver
meh, they tend to always look a bit boring.

Yellow
as per the smurf blue.

None of the above
an odd one here if we limit it to jsut NAs......
I really like the Pitcrew kit on an NA in either Cream, or brown.

Never mind Smurf blue...Innocent blue has been the best production colour to ever grace a '5!

To me colour is such a funny thing.

If I buy a brand new NC now, I'll probably choose Sunlight Silver or Titanium (I chose Sunlight Silver when I bought my NB8B new). But when I got my NA a few years ago (2nd hand), I was only interested in red. I felt the colour suited the shape well and it seemed to be the signature colour of the NA - check all the brochure, ads and press cars used in magazines at the time. Almost all of them were red.

The same goes for the NB, if I buy a 2nd hand one now, I wouldn't mind it in red or even white.

For me it seems the older they get, the more I like them in louder and brighter colours.

So no one likes Neo Green (British Racing Green) :shock:

I had to vote for it myself.

I must admit I love Red, blue and white as well. If I had my way I would have four and park them in front of my house (in my dreams) in a fan formation
