Best and worst colours

[Calicliff]

Midnight blue, pain to keep clean but looks good when finished.

Love Silver... Best air conditioning for hot weather camping/driving. Sure it remains a bit ubiquitous but looks quite good and if silver really is the best for heat reflection in summer...

We've been thinking about this in our household and have agreed that as far as we can see there is NO wrong colour for the Cali - it looks good in all of them and it's just up to your preference.

I have been monitoring the classifieds over the past few months and certain colours do take much longer to sell than others, even if they are priced right. As said above if it is a keeper then go with your heart but if you intend to sell soon you may be best buying a safe colour.

Care to share your findings please? I think this is just the sort of thing people worry about.

I like very much the yellow and red colours but would feel more conspicuous when wild camping

It's not as obvious as you'd think when you're out in nature. Sticks out more in concrete jungle setting.

I would rather not say as people seem to get all defensive about this sort of thing , especially after the blackberry thread. I don't want to start another war.

My choice: Starlight Blue Metallic

This is definitely a heart purchase for us, as opposed to head (which is screaming at me to reconsider!) so we went with a fun color as she will be about holidays, sports, and other fun stuff.

Had the kids been 10yrs older then we might have gone with blackberry or starlight blue as I can definitely see the appeal there, but we want them to remember both T4 & T5 as big red fun buses!

Resale issues don't even come into it for us. I'd think color is less likely to be a deciding factor than the various options we all seem to obsess about!

Fair enough. I know what you mean

Huh? If you are buying a van and choosing a colour you like, why are you juxtaposing that a potential buyer of your van won't like your colour too? Favourite colours are favourite colours.

My only regret is that VW don't offer the California Ocean in 'proper' orange

I had a brilliant orange t5. Love that colour!

I have never understood the orange colour, when ever we see a T5 in that colour I assume it is an ex RAC patrol van.

Mine was! Beauty of a van.
The colour is lovely. But as this thread has shown, people have very different tastes!

And just as well or we would never find our motors in the car park.

I love the orange too. It was on the Beach options list at one point, but not sure if you can actually order it!

 

[DavidS]

Blackberry.

I saw that too but asked my dealer excitedly to find that both the orange and pure grey shouldn't have been on there.

I figured that might be the case, going by the lack of Orange and Pure Grey Californias around. Shame though!

Looks like VW listened and now canned it
