Ixnay on anything fecal or boring. That includes Sand Beige and possibly even Light Ivory.
Just because I own a Sepia 71S coupe (Now proudly dressed in Silver) and Light Ivory 67 coupe (Still Light Ivory and the last one to get picked for prom) doesn't influence my opinion.
Question was for you and others that have an opinion...which is most folks. Would like to see if a certain color rises to the top. Not too many colors I don't like. My 72T is a light yellow(Helhab) and love it.
Ha!
Like asking what color hair looks best on a woman.
If I were you I would start a new thread. And then wait for it to go crazy.
OK, now to get back on topic, a Sepia example from our friends at European Collectables . . .

I have a sand beige restoration project that i was going to color change because I initially considered it baby puke....
But now i consider it interesting and it stands out in the crowd.
I have since seen some really nice examples. (alot lot of sepia brown and sand beige cars were color changed throughout their lives, thus making them kind of rare.)
All the bright colors have been played out and the reds, black, silvers and whites are common.
interesting blues are winners in my books.
