    I don't mind the green. Not the best, but not the worst. The brown FF is bad though.

    I like the dark green 458. I can't really say that I dislike the FF in brown any more than I do in red. Looks okay in fiorano, but don't care for it at all in corsa. The brown is kinda interesting in a freakish sort of way, like the car itself. Worst color? Signal green.

    The question is not if something is the worst color, but the worst color for a specific model. That green looks great on plenty of cars, but it tends to look better on swoopy cars (TR3, Aston DB) than on chiseled angular cars.

    The brown indeed looks bad on the FF, but sadly, the styling of the FF doesn't lend itself to many colors. That same brown looks stunning on a 328 GTS.

    The worst color for any car is what I call "mistake pink", which is the color so many people paint used cars for their 16 year old princess daughters -- usually a VW Jetta or Honda Civic. Since the color is always picked from a chip chart, people always seem to make the same mistake: the pink is always way too light, so it just looks washed out. The appropriate shade for cars tends to be hot pink, like the photo in the post above.

    more poor color choices:

    "stripped off" "oxidation" "last washed in 1989"

    It's fixable. Just buy an E-Type, keep the paint, sell the car.

    The color brown relates to quality in everything - a comfortable home, the best food and drink and loyal companionship. It is a color of physical comfort, simplicity and quality. From a negative perspective it can also give the impression of cheapness and stinginess in certain circumstances.

    Brown is friendly and approachable. It is loyal, trustworthy and dependable in a practical and realistic way.

    In color psychology, brown is honest, genuine and sincere. It relates to the hardworking, the industrious and reliable, with both feet planted firmly on the ground.

    It is sensual, sensitive and warm, engulfing one in a feeling of calmness and comfort.

    It is a practical and sensible color which implies common sense. It hides the dirt!

    The color brown is associated with wholesome, natural and organic produce and anything related to the great outdoors, agriculture and farming.

    Brown is a frugal color - it is not associated with frivolity, excess or waste in any form. While it is materialistic, it values quality above all else, and everything in moderation.

    Some browns can show a degree of sophistication or elegance, depending on other colors associated with the brown. For example, brown with a soft white or ivory can appear stylish and classy, although more casual than black with soft white or ivory.

    Brown suppresses the emotions, creating a safe haven from the stresses of the outside world within which problems can be contemplated and solved.

    Brown is a color of structure, although by no means does it encourage perfectionism - rather it encourages orderliness and organization.

    The color brown gives reassurance. It is quietly confident but never the life of the party! Brown does not seek attention - it prefers to stay in the background, allowing other colors around it to shine.

    Brown is solid with strength and maturity. It prefers to function in its own safe little world - it is not carefree and spontaneous and doesn't like surprises. It can be considered dull, boring and unexciting by many. In fact it is one of the least preferred colors in the western world, along with orange and yellow.

    Brown is a predominant color on the planet, along with green. Brown is comforting and stabilizing, while green is balancing and rejuvenating, just what we all need to help us deal with the stresses of modern life.

    The psychological meaning of the color brown can vary slightly depending on the colors which are mixed together to create the brown. Brown can be a combination of black, yellow, orange, red, gray, green, blue, pink and purple, and each of the colors in it will add a variation to the meaning.

    There are brown Ferraris (like McQueen's Lusso) that are gorgeous.

    On the FF however, it makes an ugly car worse.

    Some colors just don't belong on some cars, as I suppose the OP intended with creating this thread.
