Best Panda Paint Colour?

Recently bought a new fiat panda 1.3 multijet. I had originally ordered it in black but swtiched to cumbia beige after seeing one in a showroom and thinking it looks really good. Hope I don't regret it. On the plus side you don't see many about so at least its original. Got me thinking though what do panda owners out there think the best colour is? Votes please!

p.s. I saw one in orange the other day and was surprised that it actually looks really nice. You just can't tell until you've seen these colours "in the flesh" so to speak.

Re: Best Panda Paint Colour?

nice colour, but whatever it is, think about seat covers. My 58 plate cumbia beige courtesy car with 3500miles had sweat seat stains already.. and that was with aircon!


and the best colour.... is a cheap colour.

Re: Best Panda Paint Colour?

I'm a big fan of the electroclash grey (had wanted a Scooby in that colour when I was shopping around for one years ago), but I do also think the black and Postman-Pat red look excellent

Not a fan of the pastel paint colours though

With you on the electroclash grey, very cool colour. Unfortunately it's not available on the MJ

Re: Best Panda Paint Colour?

The best ever colour for a Panda, no longer available, was Dry Turquoise, as attached.

Re: Best Panda Paint Colour?

I had a cumbia beige MJ, brings back nightmares. I used to call it OAP Beige.

Sorry but I feel it's not great in all honesty. I certainly wouldn't have chosen it.

Switched to a red 100hp.

Re: Best Panda Paint Colour?

Very happy with Electroclash (apart from bloody stupid name) - I've had Mirafiori Sport, Ritmo Abarth 130TC, and Uno Turbo ie in essentially the same colour so I must like it - or lack imagination. I think the Panda looks better in metallic colours, as they look less slab-sided - Mrs babbo umbro's MJ is in silver - though I very nearly opted for white for the 100HP.

Thanks, Trevor.
Much easier to find in a snowdrift on those Yorkshire Moors as well.

Electroclash Grey on the 100hp and Dry Turquoise on the Eleganza....

Which just happen to be the colour of our two!
