I bet if they called that colour 'Capuccino' they'd sell heaps of them. I actually don't mind it...

Nope, you can call a turd a rose but it still stinks.

In Italy Abarth have named the colour "Mochalatte" . It's sounds better than "Rally beige ", but it's still as Maxi points out a s**t beige colour.

White looks good though.
I really like the hearing aid beige on the 500 Abarth, on the wrong shape, it would be horrid but in that, it really works

It kind of looks like Campovolo Grey after a long stint on a gritty, salty winter road.
But the 500 does work in beige. Odd but true, I think.
Looks cool..
The 500 is a retro car.. I dunno why people still haven't figured that out..
But there's the "modern-look" options too, for anyone a little bit more conservative.

If anyone has missed the point it's you, the 500 is a modern car mistaken for a retro one

The shape is retro enough in itself. Everything else about the car doesn't need to be retro. It's retro/modern, not retro/retro.
The thing is, Abarth could have chosen much better existing colours from the Fiat range. Everyone of course has different opinions, but I doubt many are going to risk their hard earned on Rally beige. Dealers might not be even that keen to take them back as part ex. I remember trying to part ex my Stilo Schumacher at a Fiat dealer and the salesman saying " oh you didn't buy one of those did you".

noooo... its not retro/modern that would be a retro car modernised. Its modern/sort of retro.
One of the new colours reminds me of this, the Invacar

NHS hearing aids haven't been beige for a while, now. When they went digital, they went silvery-grey (the colour of nearly every BMW on the road...).

Yep, the place I used to work for did NHS hearing aids, the Oticon ones were all silver/grey
Yeah but... if you want the "modern" gig, how about this radical concept: Buy a different colour.

Yes, but in the latest Abarth colours, apart the new metallic red, they have gone beige mad. That is beige/red bicolour, grey/beige bicolour and beige.

Christ that is horrible. I refused to wave to a lady in a bicolour the other day, it was that ugly.
