I keep seeing cars in this color - even new ones.. and every time, I just can't fathom why anyone would get it.
Come on now, look at that thing!

Ewww!
 
I personally don't get any person who'd drive a purple car unless it's a cadillac and the owner pimped for a living...
 
I can't really find any pictures of it...

but there's this puke yellow/green BMW M3 in a nearby neighborhood. It's so terrible looking.
 
that creme color that Chrysler loves to use. It's absolutely appalling. It looks like a grungy/sweat stained white.

why would anyone buy a white car...
While white is hardly my favorite color, there are some cars that look best in white.

The last gen BMW 3 series or Lexus IS300 for example...
 
"German taxi beige". Photos can't quite do justice to its hideousness.

And whoever said white is just wrong. It's the ultimate color of any great looking car:

I drove an orange car for 4 years (Honda Element). Some people hated it, some loved it. I thought it was great and I'd do it again in a heartbeat.

It's a Pontiac, it'll look ugly in any colour.

Anyways, most colours these days aren't ugly, but only a few cars can pull off yellow or white.

I admit, on that car it doesn't look that bad, but there still are a million others colors that Porsche would look better with. Yellow is just plain ugly.

Anything green or brown. EARTH COLORS DO NOT BELONG ON CARS!

Aston Martins and Minis disagree with you on the green, both those cars pull off green very well (although it is a dark green, I agree with you that light green is ugly)

Yellow totally depends on the car. Mustang, Corvette, Lamborghini, basically any sports car is good with yellow. Now, yellow on a luxury sedan or SUV on the other hand makes no sense.

Yellow or red on a car represent speed/sport.
 
As far as common colors go, white is definitely the worst. I'm sure there's a couple exceptions on some sweet sports car, but generally white is horribly boring and looks dirty in a day's worth of driving.

That's why I drive a silver car now.. I live under an airport flightpath and work next door to an eight-lane freeway, so if my car was white or black, I'd literally have to wash it every day. Anything that's light gray or tan is good.
 
Copper sucks. It's like they wanted to do Orange but didnt have the balls to go all the way. Speaking of Orange...

I agree that the orange/copper color looks bad on most cars, but I like it on this one:

As for the people posting sports cars with different colors as counter-examples of that color looking bad, those cars look good in ANY color. Any porsche, lambo, aston martin, etc. will look good in any color.
