Favourite factory colour

I like white a lot more than many other colours.
I saw my first mint cond Saddle Tan metallic a few weeks ago, on a HZ Prem. It is an awesome colour in the right light. Just the name sounds awful. If they'd called it Burnished Gold or even Saddle Gold it'd be more popular. I had only ever knowingly seen it on old panels in a dark wreckers or when sun-damaged.
The other awesome combo would be a Tuxedo HJ Kingswood Sandman with Sienna trim, or maybe Satin mist with the same trim.

Ok Jason I believe white is a colour because it is on the dulux colour card and palais white is on the colour selection chart for hz Holden and Torana's etc so it must be a colour only because you threatened to stop making decals

palais white is the best ambulance colour, no argument there.

The UC I had was Saddle Tan. With the sun on it it's not a bad colour. Pretty dull in shadow though.

I don't think it'd look that flash on a HZ with stripes, but on a DL7 ute it'd be pretty cool. Probably not a colour for a van though!

A bit like the Cognac Metallic my HQ is really.

I remember a mates dad had a HZ Kingswood ute in that when they were new. It was a nice looking car but it was new. Ours was the solid light blue and looked a bit plain beside it.

Ultra blue is one that eludes me too on a Sandman. My Overlander tonner was Ultra Blue originally.
