[crisgal]

you get cars in black, white, red, blue, green, yellow, silver, gold and brown.

Why not orange?

woman down our road's got an orange VW Beetle.  If you saw it you would know why there aren't many orange cars.

It has to do with the color not rhyming with anything...

Bond Bugs were orange. Nuff said!

I bought an orange Reliant Kitten for �25 back in 1989. Had a mirrored back window and a crucifix glued to the dashboard!? I actually used to park it in the next road, and have a light coating of WD40 on the side windows to disguise me. Before you laugh, I sold it for �375 three weeks later.

Because car paint colours* were originally sanctioned by the Vatican.

*American users: this is the british spelling of "colors".
