Okay, this has been bugging me.. Are Brown cars illegal?

I thought I remember a passing blurb about that a couple of years ago in a car magazine..

I can't think of why they WOULD be, but come to think of it, I haven't seen a brown car in quite some time.. You know, that shade of brown that was popular in the late 70s...

Why would you want your car to look like poop?

It was symbolic of the car industry in the late 70s

I don't like Brown or Green cars, but that's me. It's kinda funny as my current VW bus is mexico beige with a brown interior. It was the most rustfree camper I could find to replace my sage green camper I don't like those colors, but those colors seem to find me

This sepia brown one looks ok



Colors go in and out of fashion. Silver is an "in" color right now, and black and white are always at the top of the list. Some experts predict that blue will be the next big color.

I really like alot of the early 70's colors like these:



My last car was white, and there are 2 white cars in my driveway/garage. After these 2 white cars get sold, I hope to never own another white car again (until a white car that's forsale at a great price finds me).

one of my favorite colors is that light aqua blue color that the G35\G35C\Altima comes in. and the really light blue BMW color. But I like my Anthracite

my 2000 Max SE was Mahogany Pearl ... Color looked like shit on the GLE model, but on the SE with the carbon-look taillight housings, and that car was absolutely gorgeous. Just saw one today at the store and it looked incredible. Unfortunately they replaced it in the 2001 year with Milot.

I just remembered that my Mom's 2003 Toyota Camry SE is Brown. Ok, it's really Black Walnut Pearl Close enough.
