On the sage advice of secretrebel that LJ is an ideal place to canvas opinion prior to making a decision, I would welcome your views

Not red. Not red. Not red. Not red.

Mostly. Not red.

[secretrebel]

That's what I said!

Excellent. I am always right.

[ealuscerwen]

Oh, okay. I was originally going to get red but it does look as though everyone except onebyone disagrees. Of course, I must have been having second thoughts even to ask...

[onebyone]

I thought that you should get red on grounds that you wanted red. The only one I think there's anything especially wrong with is beige - I'm not too bothered between red and grey.

[sumbitch]

this should be an easy decision: which shade flatters you the most? i vote for whichever you think sets you off best.

or, just to be contrary, RED. :D

[ealuscerwen]

I do think red would be the adventurous choice... Oh,k and red suits me!

*dithers*

[sumbitch]

well, *I* vote RED RED RED. it's a convertible, for heaven's sake. why try to be subtle? plus, I think you really want the red. and it would suit your coloring.

beige or grey would be the safe choice, but I say
RED!

:)

p.s. monochrome color schemes are always in good taste.

[al_fruitbat]

I think for the leather interior I'd go for charcoal grey.

[triskellian]

Seconded. Red would be too much, with the red exterior as well, and beige is always a bad idea IMO.

[dr_bob]

I have to vote grey too. Althoough I also have no taste.

[knirirr]

A difficult choice as there's no orange, but with such an exterior it has to be red.

[ealuscerwen]

I do think it's a promising choice, but who are we to stand against so many?

[knirirr]

There's an interesting section in a book on dandyism on my shelf that claims that popularity makes something objectively vulgar...

[lathany]

Charcoal grey.

[bateleur]

Definitely.

As well as being aesthetically pleasing and less prone to show dirt there's also the fact you'll be able to wear pretty much any colour whilst driving it without clashing horribly with your own upholstery.

[knirirr]

Red leather is also aesthetically pleasing.

i do not know you -- or perhaps i do know you and i merely do not know that i know you -- but i applaud your taste, sir or madam. since you agree with me, you are obviously a critter of discernment.
