Help me choose my car colour

I’m planning on signing up for an electric car on a lease deal, have settled on the Peugeot e2008 which is out in a couple of months. Won’t be to everyone’s taste, but I can get a really good deal. Have decided on spec etc, but we can’t agree on colour! I’ve always bought older cars before so never had the chance to choose before. So - orange, blue or red?

My late father worked in insurance for years and would have said red. He said people subconsciously associate it with danger and so behave more cautiously around a red car.

Is the orange not more a bronzy-gold colour?

SuperMeerkat · 02/03/2020 20:57

Blue. I can’t believe i’ve ‘Met’ some people who actually like that hideous baby poo orange colour 😂💩💩

Blue! I love my blue car, but annoyingly I'm seeing more & more blue cars popping up.

Can I ask where you got your deal @Mimx? I'm considering an SUV on lease so looking for any recommendations.

The red looks amazing and the blue is nice too. I usually like orange cars but that shade is too bronze-y for my tastes. I'd go red though.

Oldraver · 02/03/2020 21:13

Yes to orange.

We have an orange car and dont regret it, it's nice a shiny

Groggy, it’s an employee salary sacrifice scheme via Tusker. For some reason the Peugeot is great value compared to the other electric cars and not a 12 month waiting list like the Kia or Hyundai.

Blue or red.

No to orange, it's horrible.

chrisbarker344 · 02/03/2020 21:36

Orange

MrsJoshNavidi · 02/03/2020 21:42

Orange or red.
I really don't like blue cars, for no good reason.

amazedmummy · 02/03/2020 22:13

@SuperMeerkat I think this is more like baby poo.

Orange definitely...

vhs95 · 03/03/2020 16:13

My friend has it in orange and it's a lovely metallic colour.

Rosecatter · 03/03/2020 16:42

Red

BuzzingBee100 · 03/03/2020 17:02

All three are lovely but perhaps the red wins.

nameymcnamechangeagain · 03/03/2020 17:02

Red! But I always buy black.

oohnicevase · 03/03/2020 17:09

Blue !!!

Red

HarryBob · 03/03/2020 17:11

Red, closely followed by the blue

bluerad · 03/03/2020 17:29

Orange

Roselilly36 · 03/03/2020 17:55

We have the orange 3008, it’s a lovely colour. When we are choosing a colour for a new car, we tend to choose one of the colours that the cars in the brochure photos are featured as these tend to look best on the model.

OldEvilOwl · 03/03/2020 18:09

BLUE

Twospaniels · 03/03/2020 18:33

Blue definitely

PlausibleSuit · 03/03/2020 18:39

Orange gets my vote
