I'm biased but I love sepia brown and I know a lot of people that feel the same.
Not sure why people are saying things like "yuk" on this forum. You can just say it's not your taste or you don't like it.

Well, it's a lot quicker to type "Yuck" about something you don't like rather than "This color is not to my liking". Personally, I think Jim B is on the right track by just keeping a copy of the Supreme Court's ban on brown sports cars posted in his rear quarter window...
So when you don't think a sport car should be brown you type "yuk". Fine.
I don't think a sport car should be semi automatic. Should I type "piece of sheet" each time there is a post about a sportomatic? It will make this forum such a nice place if we all start to act like that....

"paint to stool sample"
For the avoidance of doubt: smiling faces above relate to the joke …
I have no opinion about the colour !

Frank,
I also believe that lightening up is the key to a happy, longer life.
Adding a smily face to a sarcastic negative comment such as "yuk" or paint to stool sample could also lead to positive vibes...
I used to find sepia ugly, until I bought the one I posted pics of. I have had most of the great colors (blutorange, condo green, viper green, aubergine, silver, irish green, bahama yellow, etc...) But I never got so many "great color" comments from good looking women on the street than with this sepia car. From that point on I concluded that an early 911 in very good condition looks good in any color (even sand beige ;-) )
