    Orange hasn't been on the grid for a while, it'd be nice to have the contrast.

    Orange was the colour of McLaren in Bruce's time, and during the CanAm campaign.

    Orange was officially the colour of Dutch cars, as seen on De Beaufort's F1 Porsche, or Ben Pon's 904GT Porsche, and recently Spyker F1.

    White with orange chevrons! LOL Hope it looks like their Texaco livery from the 70s.

    F1 needs better livery, sponsors or not, to have more contrast between the cars. I especially liked the Simtek livery, Jaguar with the big logo on the side, and the 7-UP Jordan.
    I'm hope McLaren are really moving away from silver, too similar to Mercedes IMO.

    Rumors only. Started by the king of false rumors, Omnisport. Maybe they'll be right about this one but I doubt it

    I believe the color was officially called papaya, and I hope the new team colors will match that.

    They can hardly be wrong on this. White, orange or the main sponsor's colour

    Well, it's being pushed by Honda, so it makes lots of sense that they would want to differentiate
    themselves from silver colours. White with some hints of orange wouldn't harm anybody, would it?

    Mclaren's overalls were completely white by the end of the season last year

    Took someone else's concept of the McHonda, added more orange in place of the silver. I can fux with that, although I would prefer colors more in the range of blue/teal/turquoise, metallic paints too.

    Seems a little darker than the McLaren papaya/historic orange they used on the test cars in the 2000s.

    Honestly don't know who that color belongs to. Just a concept I found using google. I just added random logos. Should I have put a prancing horse on there instead? Red Bull?

    Well, there are many renderings out there, some are nicer than others. I'm not saying
    that I dislike it, it looks alright, though it looks more like a Sauber from '96. What I'm saying
    is that those colours there are probably not reminiscent of a McLaren.

    If you asked me, I'd prefer something like this instead:
