It generally looks like ass on anything that's not a low-slung two door sports car. Taxi looking ahh color as the kids would probably say.

Not all yellows are equal, but the right shade with the right car can be amazing
Literally everything is better than gay bmw purple or npc narso grey/blackl/coldwhite (warm white like ibis white is good to go)

Yeah but is the color itself bad or is it just the association with taxis?
Once uber and lyft completely outcompete and destroy the taxi industry (thank god), future generations may not even know that taxis were once distinctly yellow... and may start appreciating yellow cars again?

Yellow is extremely overrated as a car color, teal is an underrated color

That's because too many shitboxes came in teal in the 2000s.

I wouldn't say it's underrated, so much as it's vehicle dependant. I think that BMW and btaller cars in general looks like ass in yellow, but low slung super cars like Lamborghinis and pic rel look great.

yellow is a great color for a car, but as my uncle used to say: you can drive a yellow car, but it better be the fastest thing on the road.

It is. But yellow is also hard as fuck to paint. That’s why it’s a rare color and some shitty body shops say they don’t do yellow cars. The primer must be either white gray or pink and the base coat requires many many layers because yellow paint has shitty coverage. But it looks awesome when done right

>For new car buyers seeking strong resale value, more obscure colors like yellow, orange and green will provide higher pricing when it’s time to sell.

Funny, I've always heard that bold car colors went out of fashion because they had worse resale value.

Yellow's a tough color to get right, a lot of car yellows look really bad.

I like silver because I can just slap duct tape over every bumper crack/scrape and nobody even notices it's there.
Dark colors (black, gray, dark blue/green) age poorly. They absorb the sun and it destroys the clear coat.

for me it's green. you almost never see green cars and it's a nice color. not a muted olive drab green, I'm talking a more saturated green like pic rel
>>28823947
teal is also a good one

I mean like a middle shade saturated green. not lime green, not dark green, not pastel green, not olive drab. there are a lot of different hues, saturations, and shades of green though and it affects the look a whole lot. again more like pic related
the green you posted appears to be rather saturated but it's very dark. it almost looks like it could be black in that image. I also see subarus in a less saturated green but again that's not what I'm talking about
having said that, dark greens are nice too. I'm not trying to hate on dark green. lime green can also look quite nice

to be honest this is an ugly shade of green
it only sort of works on that old 1940s looking truck
it doesnt have a classy look (dark green), doesnt have a rugged look (military green), doesn't have a sporty look (lime green)

Taxi association ruins it in the public eye.
There are a few ways to overcome this.
1) Have a car that nobody can mistake for a taxi. Generally this means a 2 door car sports car of some sorts.
2) Have a shade of yellow that's clearly not a taxi. Something like gold/brass.
3) Go orange.
