352 Silver Green! Totally unbiased of course!

Pacific blue or Maya for me or the light Green as well,but i do like the White cars,but you hardly ever see them in White.

As much as I like titanium grey, it's too boring so I'd say mellow yellow.

Very volvo 850 T5R.

Mine is the best camouflage. At this time of year I am nearly invisible in countryside so headlights left in the on position! After a bad crash in my green Mondeo I learned that lesson....

Looks awesome when polished though. Rich and verdant colour

My favourite so far is the Phase 1 Dark Blue metallic.

Didn't get the choice of colour when I bought my current one, ended up with Titanium Grey which I have grown to like, makes it look like the bumper strips are colour coded

. There are a lot of cars in that shade of grey though, it doesn't stand out in the car park like some of the Volvo colours.

As best as i can tell just look for arcadias and an egg crate grill, oh wait - thats all of them!

Atlantic Blue metallic, 343, has got to be the best! Another unbiased view, I don't think!!

Yeah I really liked and still do like 353 burgundy, there are a few really good colours though, the blue/purple one looks especially cool, but it's just a sexy car to begin with (V40 at least)

I think the S40 looks best in panama yellow with black trim, or silver/grey

Silver has grown on me with this car. Helps that it is a neutral bright silver with lots of sparkle rather the being on the blue or red side of silver. Definitely not the best colour....too many silver cars around.
Favourite colour would be the Blue/Purple metallic, not sure what paint code that was but there was a prominent member on here that had one. After that I like the matte light blue (245). There's a Phase 2 V40 near me that colour, looks really nice actually.
Definitely not a fan of yellow at all, though Maya Gold is pretty nice.
