Default Least Favorite Exterior and Interior Colors?

We've heard about the favorites. Now, what are your least favorite exterior and interior colors? (They don't have to be in combination.) These are personal opinions, so no offense toward anyone.

Exterior: Mystic gold. I'm not a fan of gold on any car.

Interior: Ash. I've had too many cars with gray interiors in the past. I guess I've grown tired of it. I miss having real colors inside cars. My Allante has burgandy leather. Past vettes had bright red and navy blue leather.

Personally my least favorite color on a car is black. I would never own a black car. But here is the weird part... I think black looks very cool on a nice car - just for someone else not me.

Actually I'm not particularly fond of the black cherry on an LS (I really wanted white) but never could find one that was mint. Now black cherry on a smaller car like an SL500 or SLK350 looks awesome.

Least favorite interior color is not even close, I don't like light grey/silver leather interiors - even on other people's LS430s.

Here's two more votes for gold or green. IMHO, and at the risk of being very un-pc, they're for the old and stodgy.

Then again, guess that's why restaurants have menus - different strokes for different folks

I'm going to have to go with the majority when I say I hate gold, especially Lexus Gold. Gold on any car just looks terrible. I have the Millennium Silver, and sometimes I don't like the color of it in certain light.

Dark Green I can live with, but isn't my favorite.
