I would never drive a car that color, but I think it looks great. Then again, I drive a bright blue car (the color is called Portimao Blue Metallic), so I can’t really be critical of a bright green.

Most of their work involves utterly mad colors like this, and color shifts, but they also do ones that are just beautiful.

That’s a great color! I had fuchsia lipstick & nail polish almost the same as that sample in the early 80s tophat-biggrin

Wouldn’t fancy a pink car, tho. Guess I’m too macho.

I had a Polo in that colour for a couple of years ~30 years ago.

If was one of those things that just happen. I had been on the receiving end of a rear-end collision/4 car pileup and needed another car ASAP and cheap. So I phoned up a distant relative in Hamburg, they had a petrol station, garage and used car lot at the time, and asked if they had anything small and cheap - Fiesta, Polo, Panda, anything. And they had this Polo with a real low kilometerage from the proverbial little old lady, but for real. I still remember the phonecall:
“Yeah, we’ve got this Polo with [km] on the odometer and you can have it for [very attractive price].”
“I’ll take it.”
“But… it’s PINK…”
“I said I’ll take it.”

To be honest, a bit unusual at first, but it really grew on me. On balance, a positive experience. Sure, I’d get the odd side-eye, but when I’d encounter another Polo or Golf in Verkehrspurpur we’d wave at each other like old friends. I also took a lot of photos when I thought the colour made a nice contrast to the surroundings. I really need to digitise some my old negatives/slides.

Triumph described this colour as “Nuclear Red”, presumably to make it more macho:

That guy needs to spend way more time on his triceps, and stop doing endless bicep curls.
