Always thought Ford AU did the best blues :

Ice Mint Silver
Crystal Mint Green is my favourite colour. I am particularly partial to lighter shades of green.

In my opinion the shape of the car makes a difference with colours.
I remember when the XD was released there were a couple of colours that carried over from the XC a Metallic Dark Brown with Gold and also a Metallic Dark Green with Gold which I think looked a lot better on the XC with the curvy shape. |

I would be happy with any colour if they were offering an Australian made 2025 Model.

it's hard to say as the colour and model go hand in hand, the BA/BF series had a great range of colours, I quite like the out there colours (being a wog) top of my list is wild plum

going to also throw Calypso Green from XA (I think), and the light green that was offered on SX Territory launch
Ice mint silver was a great colour too

I'm going to have to say Blood Orange. I liked it so much than when I had my three Custom shop Maton's built, they were all finished in that colour with black chrome trim on everything!

Generally blue seems to be the winner here, maybe sublimely being FORD's corporate colour.

I had an AU in Galaxy Blue which looked amazing. I think I'd buy that car back in a heartbeat if I had the chance.
The FG has a lot of really nice colours. Ego, Swift, Viper, Seduce, Kinetic. I got mine in Lightning Strike. Not a very exciting colour, but it looks amazing in the sun. |

My list is fairly lengthy. To me its all about a colour suiting the other exterior trim and vehicle, a combo of sorts, that makes a colour so great. I can't see certain colours translating well across different models.
But always at the top of the list is Sparkling Burgundy for me, the EL version - not the dopey AU version, and Ego in the FPV version. Not the standard version. Colours like Poly Green, Cobalt, Blueprint and Bionic are up there too. Also, just my 2c... I think Blueprint got overused. Should have stayed with the AU. It lost something when it was continued with the BA. |

Im a bit of a sucker for the old Bronze Wine especially when done as a knee deep shining candy over a heavy metallic silver base... absolutely gleams in the sun.
I also like the powder baby blue and white roof combo on an early bird highlighted by lots of chrome, I think thats how my XP will end up if I ever do get started on it Guess I like old school colours
