Clever Color Names

I'm sure many of you have clever names for the color scheme of your Smarts. The ones I have seen pop up on this forum are:

Bumblebee: Yellow and Black (duh)
Back in Black: Black on Black
Zebra: White and Black

Guess you could also call Black on Black a Darth Vader...

Mine will be Red with Black. I'm calling it an Aztec, since I graduated from San Diego State University! I know, it's kind of regional, and only makes sense to us SoCA dwellers.

Too bad we can't get a golden Tridion cell...then we could go wild with school colors! I got my masters at Cal Poly! Green and Gold...sweet!

So, consider this thread the repository of clever-smart-color-scheme names. Go for it, and keep it clean

Bumble Bees, Blue Berries, and Pandas Oh My

Howdy all

Yellow/Black Bumble Bee

Black/Black Jack Black (factory description, I don't like the actor)

White/Black Panda (not enough stripes for a zebra)

Blue/Black Blue Berry (kid at my church calls my cabrio)

Red/Black Strawberry

White/Silver Ice Cube (or Ice Berg)

That's it from me for now.

Bruiser (Blue and Black)

Of course, the irony of calling a microcar "Bruiser" has not been lost on me...

Nice ones.

I agree with the panda. I guess it could be called a penguin too...or would that work better with black/white?

But with the addition a few more stripes, you could have a zebra.

Hmmm. can you get Orange/Black? Now you have a Jack-O-smart. The front end is perfect for this one!

Or add a few stripes...tiger.

Colors?.............while we're at it, if ever a small car deserved more imaginative colors, its the smart. I was severely disappointed to learn that one of the new colors for 09 is grey. Like half the cars on the road now are some permutation of grey/silver. This is a fun vibrant car & should have fun vibrant colors........Where are the lime green, pastel blue, hot pink, & florescent orange smarts? I had a lime green Fiat a few eons ago, it still is my favorite car color of all time............

Well, Ralph, considering you drive an Aztek, it is clear that you like unique vehicles, and aren't afraid to be noticed!

Here we are two weeks later, and "Ladybug" seems to have taken hold here in SoCA.

This is the color of my son's smart-to-be: red and black.

I want to get a rear window decal that says: "Who you callin' LADY!?"

I doubt if my son will go for it...
