So is the ‘Hearing Aid Beige’ one I keep seeing, really Desert Sand?

Yes. Get a snap and post it here please.

Oi, @WezV , that's cheating! Proper spots only!

In fairness, they were not googled for this thread, but saved some years ago from a discussion on sonic blue.

The light makes it look a bit dark, but this one was a lovely fiesta red

Another one spotted at work: charcoal frost!

I saw a 1960s RELIC the other day 
Prize for the first to spot a 3 tone sunburst (or a fire damaged brown one )

Might be Fender colours, but in a crash a Telecaster is a safer place to be.

Fucking Fiat Fucking Five Fucking Hundreds. They're everywhere. I hate them.

More to the point, they're always in the way, usually with somebody "driving" them who hasn't got a bloody clue what they're doing. And when they do decide to do something, like get on a dual carriageway, the acceleration is so piss-poor that you have to wait until they've got into traffic, the kind soul who let them out has slammed on the anchors because they can't get up to speed properly, then leave it a car or two and then get on yourself when every approaching car has given up any idea of getting where they're going on time.

Just as an example.

Fucking Fiat 500s.

Ugh.

I rented a car when I was working in Edinburgh a couple of years ago and I got a seafoam green Fiat 500... I haven't got any photos of it though

Yes, I can quite imagine they'd get in the way of your BMW, @digitalscream ;  ;0)

Wouldn't be seen dead in a Beemer, thankyouverymuch.

Ford Puma here. Much more fun...when there isn't a Fucker 500 in the way

Saw this vintage Olympic White in Rome a couple of years ago. Accompanied by a Sonic Blue and something yellow-ish (maybe a refin?!) but they weren't as photogenic.

I have Fiat 500L
I'd say it's olympic white and has a skunk stripe.

I need a new car.

Does that mean this is a ZZ Top model?

There was a seafoam green Fiat parked just around the corner whilst I was walking the dog. If I knew about this thread I would've snapped a pic. 
I'm off out again soon, if it's still there I'll get a picture. 

Update: Car was gone. Poop.

There’s an Olympic white one that regularly parks outside my house. I’ve painted PISS OFF SCUM on it in a lovely contrasting Fiesta Red. 

I have a little coda to this.  I didn't actually paint anything on it ( I was exaggerating for comic effect) but this car has been parked outside my house most days for the last couple of months. I would occasionally see the driver who would go into a house on the next street. The car wasn't really causing me any inconvenience but it seemed curious that someone would park 100 yards from where they live every day rather than in front of their own house. 

Well, the car has been clamped and then unclamped and put on the back of a trailer by people I think were bailiffs.  Presumably parking it by my house was an attempt to keep it out of sight of debtors, albeit an unsuccessful one.

The seafoam car reappeared.. Phone camera has dulled it slightly. There were also people about so I took it from across the road as I was passing.. Anxiety and all that.
