We’ve all done it. Seen a car drive by us in a particularly putrid shade, and turned to gawp after it. There are so many ugly cars out there that people actually buy, and there are so many horrific shades that they then choose to have it painted in. It does of course beg the question of why anyone would ever buy cars like that, but at least it gives us darn good fodder for a top 10 post like we have put together here!

Oil Coloured TVR

Some people may love this oily shade… but personally I think 7 Flip Paint is the devil’s work!

Ugly Beige Car

Is anything worse than boring beige? Well…

Poo Coloured Volvo...

… perhaps the remarkably poo coloured brown of this Volvo could give it a run for its money?

The Midas Touch

Gold may be the colour of luxury, but it screams “cheap” on this Audi.

A Classy Colour?

Lime green. Need I say more?

Murky Green Convertible

Not quite as offensive – but I think there is a reason green cars are the most likely to be involved in crashes…

So orange...

So very orange. It hurts to look at. Ford have a lot to answer for, I often see these driving around!

A Vaguely Red Chrysler Cruiser

If you are going to have a red car, the worst thing to do is chicken out and opt for a kind-of-red shade.

A little bit of everything

My 9th option is the bright and horrible VW Polo. A car bought on a trip if there ever was one.

Now, I can’t think of a tenth, so I am opening the floor. Can you think of any other car colours as bad as these?!
