I was talking to someone the other day about what colour I wanted to paint my "Cal Looker" when it finally gets done...... And the best description of the colour I wanted was "Baby Poo Green"   Now I know that might sound a little wierd to some but a few of you will get what I mean  I haven't really decided on a final colour yet as there are SOOOOOOOOO many cool old original colours out there...... So give me some inspiration...... I am looking for those wierd/horrible/sickly Brown, Green, Yellows etc etc I look forward to seeing your ideas  |

if you want a cool color that will fit right in with all the trendy "earth tones" that seem to be "must haves" to be Cal Look thse days, check out Ocra Giallo on Google, it's an old old Alfa Romeo color.

all depends on what the baby ate or drank really...
olive and chartreuse come to mind. both lovely pourche colors. the olive one was posted recently on the lounge.
if the baby ate radioactive breast milk it would probably lean towards viper green (no real experience there)

Hmmmmm so interesting thoughts...... Especially from Nicolas  I am thinkin more GREEN'S Porsche "goldgreen" is the kinda colour I am taking about I know there was a few BRITISH colour from the 70's MG's Rovers etc etc The reason I am not posting pictures is because I KNOW the colours I have seen and I want some outside input...... Plus I thought it would make a cool thread |

Hey Lee.... Hope alls well in Norway....
I kinda feel like the whole earth tone dull beige / brown shades are getting a little overdone and boring,
Thinking of colours that remind me of being a kid in the 70's....
LOTS of dark aubergine that no-one seems to use now, (porsche did a nice shade of it)
Or if you're brave a lime green..... Miura style.
